Guilty as charged. Now THAT is babbling. I'll now retire back to my hole with my tail between my legs.

My reserve time started in the early 80's, but the idea pushed in the Globe article that each and every regulation or admin requirement must be followed instantly and to the letter by every reservist or some dishonorable crime has transpired is pretty funny, in light of what I have seen.
Regulations can be used to hammer those who deserve hammering. They are followed as closely as can be, given the limits of reserve training time.
I can only imagine the reaction I would have elicited had I tried to get out of going to Iraq by pointing out that my mandatory drug lecture, NBC training or sexual harassment training was out of date. Yet, the Globe would brand me a dangerous renegade because I dared deploy without having my admin requirements all in perfect order.
