Just dont want them to say back door draft because that is not what it is most of those jobs on stop loss take a year or two of training.
I know when the hubby was a SF medic the training took 2 years to complete and he started with 200 people in selection and only 44 made it through phase 1 which was just field training... some people just cant hack carrying a 130lb ruck 100 miles
Phase 2 eliminated alot of people as well
As did Robin Sage and a few other things like SERE training...
We do think about it, because my husband is in one of the Mos's currently under stop loss, and stop loss actually has some time restraints on it concerning when your unit is called to deploy and you have to be within a certain date to be put on stop loss.
Good thing is he has already served his 8 years, so he owes not one day to IRR status.
I dont believe people realize that soldiers who just sign up for 2 years and get out are still on IRR and can be called back at anytime until that 8 years on IIR has passed... its part of their contract....
When I got off of active duty I didnt owe one day to IRR myself.
It just kind of irritates me they are whinning about the stop losses and calling it this big backdoor draft, and if they feel that way will they stop it or be guilty of it
