Just heard about this local guy who reluctantly went to Iraq because he was in the reserves, now his contract is up (as of 7/31) and they won't let him out.
I've known for more than 40 years that there's always been language in the deal the Reservists make that say they can be called back as needed, in times of war. And kept in until not needed.
If this guy didn't know that Reserve pay comes with strings attached, he should have. No sympathy from me.
That doesn't jive with the statutes:
You said he was in the reserves. And that's what I commented on.
Below you are quoting use of the _National Guard_.
Sorry, I mispoke -- he's in the Guard. -- Harmon Seaver CyberShamanix http://www.cybershamanix.com
