Side note: My understanding is that technically every commissioned officer is on IRR status for life. But it really doesn’t mean anything. If things were to get that bad, I’m sure everyone would become a potential conscript.[/quote]
Pri: I’m pretty sure you’re right. I went out under a medical discharge/honorable after a helo crash and I was told that, following my rehab, I was still on IRR for the five years immediately following. I’m still not sure what benefit I would have provided the Army at that point, but still.
Hey, and apropos of nothing: Have you ever been approached by either the Navy Reserve or the Coast Guard Reserve following your time in? As late as just a few years ago, I fielded calls from both to come in at same rank/privileges on the Reserve side. I fully explained my circumstances and they didn’t seem to care. Just curious.
