I'm irked... only because I am just starting to deal with the issue.

If it plays out as it looks it might... I'll be shading to annoyed, then to anger, ire and finally (depends on how widely it spreads) to righteous indignation and wrath.

A friend of mine just got a letter, return receipt, from the Cal Guard, telling him he is being transferred to another unit and will be mobilised for OIF 3 (the next rotation to Iraq).

Funny thing is, he just got back in March, released from Active Duty in mid April (maybe late April... I need to ask).

So far I've not seen anyone else who's been so notified (and I think I'd've heard something), and I've not gotten such a letter, but...

My most cynical self thinks this may be because he is about to fall off of stop loss (that's why I need to find out when he was released, he may be just inside the 90 day window, of post-deployment retention) and this keeps him in.

If it is, well that sucks rocks

Just talked to him, he is past the 90 days, but there was a 1-year, involuntary extension [I take that to be the last Stop-Loss by specialty {i.e. MOS... I'll try to be kind, but as these go on I am too lazy to spell everything out, especially as that requires circumlocutions to make the meaning plain... if I'm too opaque feel free to ask for clarification}].


So, until I get some phone calls made (and not even then) I have no idea what's going on.

But we are supposed to be ineligible for call-up, overseas (OCONUS) for 12 months after we get back, and the word was that for two-years the only way for us to go overseas was going to be by volunteering. I may decide Kosovo looks even better than it does now.

This does, indeed, seem like a big steaming load o' crap.
