I served twice from 1990's to 2000's but haven't had a summons in 10-20 years now.
Yeah here in NM you call on Friday after 5pm to see if you have to report the following week, and you're on the hook for 10 weeks which seems insane. I did just hear back and I can get a 6 month postponement, so I guess I will take that and then request excuse for the time I know I'll be gone again. Then if I still have to serve for the time I'm at home at least it's not summer when I have a lot more going on.
