I am. 20+ years between active and reserve. Was active duty Navy, Army National Guard and currently Air Force Reserve - I am a repeat victim of base closures. I have five years left in my current enlistment.

Jeez,my little 9 months active don't sound like nothing but I still got 2 or so years left. Active army sux if you don't like to do PT every weekday morning (Me). Here in Korea,we run. Alot.
Sigh,2010 needs to hurry and get here,Lol.
Here is something I been wondering though,When I am classified as "Inactive Reserve" do I still do the whole 1 weekend a month 2 weeks a year number or am I basicly a civilian that can be called back up? and If I am,how often does it happen?
Thanks.

If you do 4 years Active, the remainder of your 8 year enlistment will be Inactive Reserve which means you aren't obligated to drill. You are still subject to recall if your MOS is really short. That never used to be an issue but in times like this....
Enjoy your time in and please, don't complain too loudly about Korea. Count your lucky stars you aren't in the sandbox right now.

4 Years Army. 10 years NG. Kinda stupid I did not go for twenty, but I needed a vacation with my wife. She divorced me anyway. Finng bittcccchhh.
So since NG time is 3 years to one I have 7.1 years. None in combat.
2 Years on the Fulda gap. Watching Soviets, planning our demise. Heh, Reagan, stopped that ****. In the end, we won that war!
THE COLD WAR!
For you young people, that was the war, that was won, that made it possible for you to be here!
