We didn't have anything better than hard lines but those conversations (at very least) went on in different fashions. Brings back some memories nonetheless. Thanks for sharing.

My college room mate's father was active USAF (USAAF) from about 1939 until about 1965, and told me that when he was assigned to SAC he had to have a cord on his phone long enough to reach into the bathroom. He said it rang when he was on the throne more than once.

I'm ignorant here...

This the "inactive reserve" callback?

I guess I always figured it never really happened.

In part of the video, he states he's on terminal leave.

Meaning he's active duty, but at the very end of his enlistment, and he's spending the last few days of leave he's accumulated, until he hits his official separation date.

Basically, the guy was on vacation and mere days from the end of his enlistment when he gets called back.

But yes, an inactive reserve callback can happen. There were more than a few guys with critical skills getting reactivated during the height of OIF/OEF.

They used the inactive reserves during the Gulf War. I was one of those people that just got out and received the letter to report to so and so Army post for processing and active duty. God Bless Smile

That's pretty good.

I was already deployed when I was stop-lossed, but there were a few of those moments in my IRR years.

Yeah it fucking happens....

they got me for the freaking oil spill....I was waiting for my retirement letter from Commandant HQ and was supposed to retire in Aug...my phone rang at 0730, July the FOURTH!!!. My wife comes downstairs and sees me drinking a beer and her face kinda wrinkles up, I looked at her and said, "sit down, have a drink-you are going to need it".

They got me.

Some fucking LT was put in charge of sending reserves and he chose me -even after one of the staff told him I was retiring...I found that out later-mother fucker-I'm still mad about that shit....

I'm on the train and people are looking at me like WTF!? Wink

Not only does the Army stop loss you with mere day left on your contract, but they dig deep when they have to. During the height of the OIF/OEF callups they started sending letters to IRR Soldiers telling them to find a unit, any unit, or face title 10 callup.

I was on leave and driving between Los Angeles and Montana when Panama happened. We had stopped at a motel in Dubois, Idaho for the night and had turned on the news. I saw what was happening and called in, to be told that I needed to get back ASAP.

That's how it happened in the tech-less days. Wink

Yes.

Similar to my experience in late '83, but different.

Oh you have no idea... we had a private who thought he was smart. Cancelled his phone and smashed it infront of the whole platoon. He has to sign in at cq every hour on the hour after work up until midnight every day 7 days a week until he got a new cell phone. He lasted less than a week

Government issued cell phone? If not, how can you require people to have a cell phone? I am glad I got out before this fuckery ensued.
