I don't how the reserves work, but the thing they kinda leave out when you enlist for 4 years, or even extend to say 5, is that you have an 8-yr total commitment.
so you serve 4 active, and then EAS (end of active service), at which point you are assigned to a unit in the IRR (inactive ready reserve) for an additional 4 years. serve 6 years, commit 2 more to IRR...etc. so they can call you up if they need you. before the iraq war, however, it was VERY uncommon to activate an inactive person though. the only time I dealt with it was while I was at tech. I got a letter stating I had to be in amarillo for some kind of service records update hooyah on a certain date. They said they would pay me my time and grade (6yrs, sgt) for the weekend, so that was a nice check. I made the most of my time in the service, but I sure as fuck was done with the green weenie once I was "done". To say I was annoyed to have to report to some cheesedick reserve pogue-ass unit is an understatement. but instead of bitching, I made it into a good time...showed up a little high...in civilian clothes. called everyone dude and pogue. I'm sure auditing my SRB they were expecting a bit more polished, gungho guy...but they got me. so I generally made everyone uncomfortable enough so that they left me alone. fuck the suck |
