    Yeah I’m not aware of any mechanism to recall any former enlisted servicemember past their IRR period.

      I figure if things get bad enough that they’d want any of us fat, broken old(ish)-timers back, we’ll see some new laws on the books making it possible.

        Bruh, if I got out and fulfilled my IRR honorably and whatnot, and then I was recalled years later, I would promptly smoke all the pot in reasonable distance from me the moment I received that recall notice.

        DADT ended in 2011. The military would have to be pretty desperate to want most of those veterans back in service.

        I’m sure the existing draft covers it, but we’d be a long way down the list.
