Thanks, I didn’t know that. I was originally going to write that this guy was flat-out getting screwed until the article mentioned he was a reservist, and I thought it was the traditional reserves.
IRR was supposed to be used in event of national emergencies, not ongoing foreign conflicts. Instead of the current administration not demanding a larger active duty military force they resort to distrupting the lives of GI’s that have made a difficult transition to civilian life back to military life. This guy was Honorably Discharged after five years of service and deserves a chance to start a new life, get an education, start a new career and even start a family.
