    Yes.

    I'm back in civilian life.

    No, no. Just back to being a reservist.

    Sorry to sound ignorant MM, but were you a full time soldier? Have you retired now to being a reservist or do you become a reservist for your duration back home from the sand pit?

    he's a reservist (well, NG, which is kind of different, but in effect the same thing) all the time, and his unit was mobilised for a tour as a routine roulement within the 'One Army' concept adopted by the US Army.

    I was having a look at my retirement points calculator, and I've clocked up about six years on duty in the last ten years. I may as well have been Active Duty. However, I signed on as a member of the National Guard back in 2000.

    The legal situation is that a Guardsman mobilised for the war actually leaves the Guard and becomes a member of the Federal Army under Title 10. Thus technically as I type this, I am still a member of the Regular Army, as I'm on terminal leave. I just haven't worn a uniform in six weeks.

    One doesn't retire until one has at least 20 years in. Otherwise, you just separate.

    What's the deal on the job front Manic. I have a vague recollection of you mentioning that your job upped and disappeared while you were mobilised.
