Like the soldier, Marine IIRC, who sued when ordered to active duty for GWI. Said he only signed up for the school benefit.

Or the soldier facing court-martial for deserting and attempting to file CO status.

You sign up, you perform the job. I remember on active duty fielding complaints about the soldier not getting the duty location of choice or the job of choice. In each case I asked if they had read paragraph g (iirc) of the contract which stated, paraphrased, "while every attempt will be made to give you the training of your choice and/or the duty station of your choice, you will be used at the needs of the Army."

I wasn't complaining or whining, at least I wasn't intending to do so, I was just stating that the proposed recall of the IRR was getting a little close. Next step would be either a draft or recall of the retirees. In either case, I am safe due to current medical conditions.

FWIW, after serving twenty years, I'd rather be risk the recall than forfeit the pension. (Decision is made when you "retire", not when faced with recall)

Now where's that First Sergeant/Master Sergeant rank icon when I need it. :-)
