Guess Who May Be Re-Enlisting?
Long story short,I got a call from my step mom that the Army is looking for me. Hmmmm... So I call the number and they refer me to a local recruiter. I call him and had a meeting with him. It seems that my Uncle Sam isn't quite done with me yet. I would be going in under a "reserve" status and doing some "specialized training". It's all up in the air right now,since the military doesn't know if it is coming or going with this new administration yet. If they need me I'll be there! Hell,maybe I'll meet up with Cutty in Kosovo!!! Heck,to be honest I thought I was too old to go back in but apparently the cut off is 42 but they take away the years you served from your age,so I qualify!

last I heard Prez said he was going to increase the size of the military. I'm past that now I'm 43 and been out almost 20 years. they wouldn't want me back although right now it would be a paycheck. you get a promotion going back in don't you? in Desert Storm the people brought back were promoted one grade if I remember right. |

Awesome. I doubt you'll be going to Kosovo though. If they want you back its really only for one place. Unless you really believe the President is actually pulling out of Iraq.

Despite my "pacifistic" tendencies I welcome the chance to go back believe it or not. I guess I'm very complicated but when I'm out,I'm out. When I'm in,I'm all in. This is NOT a jab at you but I don't want to play "Citizen Soldier" when I'm not in the military but if (and it's unlikely) I got sent back to the shit hole,I'd really only have a couple choices of missions,if you know my back ground then you know what those are. Most likely I'll be training others to go do the job. My guess is a job at Ft. Bragg. yet... shit I still have to pass the physical and the uh oh,psych evaluations,along with getting a security clearance,so we'll see.

Good luck to ya man!
As far as Obama wanting to grow the military, he's going about it the wrong way. Reenlistment bonuses cut Sign on bonuses cut Full time positions cut... |

Thought you had a bum ass knee, or back or something. You did your time. They'll find someone to fill in the gaps.
