Re: Anyone in the military reserves?
Well, in the original enlistment contract, a person is abligated for a total of 8 years of service. I could have served all 8 years as active, join the reserves after my 4 years, or just get out all together and hope they dont call you for the remainder of your 4 years.
Long story short, I chose to get out which put me in the Inactive reserves. Which means I dont have to do anything. No monthly meetings or crap like that. Just live like normal and hope you dont get recalled. I was almost positive that there wouldnt be a recall , but who knew.

Haha, I had to go through a class a couple weeks ago to get certified to be our company's armorer. It was scary how little the pogues know about the weapons, the crew served ---- I can understand they -might- have seen them once in basic training but there were some who were stuggling with an M4. I can't understand how anyone in the Army isn't proficient with the most basic issued weapon.
