When I was in Korea, I ran into an Army officer with Naval Aviator wings. I was thinking this is gotta be good, so I asked him what his story was.

He was a Marine Corps pilot who got out of the Marine Corps and got hired into a pool at Southwest - he had the 737 type. Somehow he ended up going into the Army Reserve after leaving the Marine Corps - I don't remember how the details of that happened. Then 9/11 happened and he got mobilized and by the time it was time to demobilize, he was pretty close to retirement, and he had lost his spot in the Southwest pool, so his plan was to stay active to get the 20 and then figure out what to do.
