I have already served 26 years as of the 28th of this month.
I am being stop lossed until god only knows when.
Do you think I knew that at 17 years old?
You re-upped, didn't you? It's not like you enlisted but once.
And as long as you draw 'retired' pay, you are subject to recall. "Retired pay" is actually maintenance pay to keep you on the rolls.
And if you have been in 26 years, you have to be either a Sergeant Major (E-9) or a Colonel (at least)(O-5). Otherwise you would have been RCP'ed.
