The AF stated their intent was voluntary recalls only, although the authorization was not limited to that.

After decades in the Navy I've seen only a couple retiree recalls, a couple seals, a couple nuke submariners, and a guy who was the only guy qualified to service a complex piece of medical gear.

Likely? Not unless there is a general mobilization, but possible? Oh yes.



Anyone intending to join the military - especially to accept a Regular commission, at least ought to be aware of the rules. Google this and it will send you to a PDF:

There are zero involuntary retired recalls. Throw the letter in the trash. Those guys all wanted to come back.

I wasn't that great of an officer when I (kind of) wanted to be there, I can only imagine how much my boss' life would suck if I was recalled involuntarily (probably just a little less than mine).

If there's a general mob, anyone who's fresh enough off of AD to be of interest to the government will probably be needing a job anyhow... something like that would be worth at least a 20% across the board airline furlough.

No, honor is required and expected, as are flight skills. I’ve also participated in three Flying Evaluation Boards for flying deficiencies. Off came the wings for two of them.

You expect a certain standard of integrity in the military. If the person doesn't have that, you don't want them on your wing - or with access to weapons and munitions designed to break things and kill people. It's as simple as that.

If you can't understand that the problem is you, not galaxy flyer living up to the standards required of an organization commander.

Sounds to me like he did the right thing. The military is not some kind of mafia which protects it's own at all costs

So what would be your expectations that he do when one of the guys under his command tells his employer that he has guard/reserve duty to get out of work, when there actually was no duty, and that employer calls him to verify the duty?



It *sounds* like you'd expect him to lie, and tell the employer that the guy did have duty, but I could be misunderstanding you, so thought I'd ask you and let you explain what you meant.
