Actually, by reg and law, all military personnel are on duty 24/7. Go violate some UCMJ's while acting in your civilian capacity, like a DUI and see if it has any impact on your mil career. Also, USERRA protects and gives Uncle Sam the right to call you 24/7 and deploy you indefinitely, just like the AC.Originally Posted by Raging white
Isn't the "rest" of the military on duty 24/7, and available for indefinite deployment with a phone call? A part timer must be activated, and then can only be deployed for a finite period based on the law. I'd say that's a bit of a different "risk".

Tell that to the family of the OH ANG fighter guy that died in Iraq last year. Not to mention the other non-flying types in the NG and ANG.
