No, El Gato, not "called" back - - they pleaded "Pretty Please, would you serve again?"

I understood. A voluntary "call back", but still. I hope they bumped him up a few ranks at least. Was his civilian occupation in any way related? Maybe they'd take me back? I can't be much older, and it's only been 20 years since I last wore the uniform, albeit as a reservist. I was even in Intell, kinda sorta. Technical Intell, not much use for that. However my "stuff", that I helped design and build probably got a work out in the early phases of Iraqi Freedom, and the guys trained using a system I also helped design and build are no doubt standing watch in the sky, at home and abroad.

"Was his civilian occupation in any way related?"

Absolutely, positively not related...they seem to be systematically going through discharged Intel field rolls, tapping ones who might be used in particular areas - I have no idea how extensive/deep his former work was, but obviously they considered him quite "useful."

As to your query about a re-up, I hear objections from the peanut gallery --
"But, Gaga - I just got borned, and yew're gonna LEAVE ME??!!"
(imagine little lip trembling--tears overflowing from her eyes!)

Miss Victoria definitely needs you...:))
In [XXXXX's}}} case, his one son at home is mostly grown.

My assessment is you are quite useful to America in what you are doing now, anyway..:))
