You might talk to the National Guard. They sometimes wavier those in the 50's.

I just rejoined after ten years out and Murtha should know that I have never seen the Guard as well equiped and trained and morale is good at my unit. The guard of the 1980's seemed broke compared with today and back in the 80's we was all thanking Ronald Reagan for the new equipment and money.

Murtha should also be questioned about why he wants our disaster response undermanned. Both the National Guard and the Coast Guard is part of the military that responses to disasters.

Hope you can get back in, you will find a lot of changes I think for the better.
