This is for the pilots who come and go a lot for work..

Who has been summoned, and how did it work? Did you get out of it because of your schedule? Did you request time off for it? I am from New Mexico and just got summoned, and term of service in my area is 10 weeks, mid-June to end of August. I just don't know how that is going to happen. I am not against serving, but am based overseas and gone for 6 weeks at a time. Even if I get excused for the parts I am scheduled to be gone, planning time at home catching up from being gone is going to be a serious challenge. I realize it is different for every state, or even county or district, but just would like to hear how you guys handled it. My previous experience, I was called twice when I lived in a different state and serving wasn't a problem. I was excused after a few hours both times.
