If they were qualified in the medical field, don’t they practice those skills in civilian labor pool?
I mean, not everyone becomes a doctor or nurse and then gives up medicine after the service.
Sounds like a possible sequester of skilled service members from a labor pool already strained in the middle of a crisis.
I warned you guys about making me come out of retirement.
But, remember....according to many FReepers....this is all for.. It’sJustTheFlu™
Sheesh.
Are folks finally waking up, now?
It’s been 52 years man. Not sure if I could really help.
You know the world is about to blow up when the call back the 35D/35E (All source tactical military intel officer/counter intelligence special agent) to do the pre and post attack planning.
This is SOP/OI for the government, especially the military. At the moment they are calling for volunteers. Bu they don’t have to....and later may not. But the public won’t know it.
There are three categories that can be utilized by the Department of Defense (DOD) Directive 1352.1 separate veterans, with those most likely to be recalled under Category I. These categories are:
Category I: Nondisabled military retirees under the age of 60 who have been retired less than five years. This category is disposed to be recalled during times of war, national emergency, or “needs of the service”.
Category II: Nondisabled military retirees under the age of 60 who have been retired five years or more.
Category III: Military retirees age 60 or older and those retired for disability.
Problem here is that they can recall for their purposes and can, most likely, utilize the recalled troop for whatever they classify as need of service. The ones that volunteer will be given more of an opportunity to determine their use. Those recalled, if it comes to that, will not.
So slipping in a short tour overseas or being relocated away from your family for your duty station might be in the cards. I didn’t, and still don’t, trust Uncle Sugar not to do what they want whether it means anything to the troop or not.

Who came up with this, one of 0moeba's Perfumed Princes?
God bless the medics and nurses who do come back.

Reminds me of the speech to the retired sailors on the Missouri on "Battleship"...
The only problem I see is that our licenses do expire every three years.
When I retired, I thought I would keep my license up but life events just didn’t give me the time.
I don’t know if they will waiver that.
