I am getting this feeling that if we go to war with Iran, we are going to need a lot more troops. So, I am going to get out my boots and shine them up, my Uncle might be recalling me in the next year. I am over 55 now, but I am in excellent physical shape (rode over 28,000 miles on my bike the past 3 years), and still say active shooting my pistols and rifles. So, while I may not be able to hump in the boonies and carry the heavy ruck sack any more, I can at least free up a younger, stronger warrior from his boring guard type duties or guarding convoys and such. I am ready to wear my uniform again, if my Uncle rings me up!!

In the Manatee Herald Tribune (Bradenton, Florida), there was an article yesterday about a 59 year old retired Colonel who has just been recalled to go to Iraq. He's packing, I guess. If you want to go, contact your Reserve Unit and talk to them.
