That is true, Dave. I know some NG and reserve that have literally had 8 or 9 deployments since 2002. My sister's neighbor pulled the plug on the Reserve after he figured in half a dozen years, he was deployed twice as much as he was home. He was a critical MOS- helicopter mechanic. The p#sser was that he tried to go active, so at least he would have all the benefits, but he couldn't. HE WAS TOO OLD, but not too old to go to the sandbox 9 months of every year. We have shifted to 50% part time military to save money....
