This guy lied and he did so deliberately. When an officer resigns from active duty and he has completed all of his military obligations, he has a choice, resign his commission or retain his commission in one of several options for Reserve Component service. If you retain your commission, but you take no action to maintain certain current qualification, you are discharged. You no longer hold a commission. This is what he did, and he certainly knew what he did.
Voters need to stop voting for liars, no matter who they are.
What is an officer’s equivalent of a DD-214? Is there any difference? I’ve often wondered.
“If you retain your commission, but you take no action to maintain certain current qualification, you are discharged. You no longer hold a commission. “
No, a commission is for life unless you specifically resign it or it is taken from you by some dishonorable action.
There were a lot of pissed off captains that were recalled to active duty when they had completed their 8 years of service obligation but failed to resign their commissions.
