Default Hey DJ and other veterans.....Brandon needs YOU! E.O to call up Ind. Ready Reserv

Quote:
Ordering the Selected Reserve and Certain Members of the Individual Ready Reserve of the Armed Forces to Active Duty



By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 121 and 12304 of title 10, United States Code, I hereby determine that it is necessary to augment the active Armed Forces of the United States for the effective conduct of Operation Atlantic Resolve in and around the United States European Command’s area of responsibility. In furtherance of this operation, under the stated authority, I hereby authorize the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a service in the Navy, under their respective jurisdictions, to order to active duty any units, and any individual members not assigned to a unit organized to serve as a unit of the Selected Reserve, or any member in the Individual Ready Reserve mobilization category and designated as essential under regulations prescribed by the Secretary concerned, not to exceed 3,000 total members at any one time, of whom not more than 450 may be members of the Individual Ready Reserve, as they deem necessary, and to terminate the service of those units and members ordered to active duty.

This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.


THE WHITE HOUSE,

Uh, yeah, we think y'all are all terrorists, but we're gonna need you to go die in Ukraine, m'kay

On the other hand, if you've ever considered a 'sex change' operation, now seems like a great time to get Uncle Sugar to pay for it, so there's that.

I tried to go back in when a few years ago and they said no because of my PTSD rating. Plus I’m way past the IRR time.

I bet they'd take you back now. They need all hands on deck now, to support globohomo. You might even get to help the irregular illegal alien army invade the US, handing out free phones, food, medical care, transportation, etc.

Default Brandon orders 3,000 RESERVISTS to Europe....prelude to all out WWIII?

https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden...ists-to-europe

Reservists are only supposed to be called up in times of natural disaster or actual war. Disrupting lives and families by calling up reserves isn't something to be done lightly.

True, but all the enlisted men are busy memorizing pronouns and preparing for their sex change surgeries.

I was an IRR pilot after retirement in the 90's. It's basically something you sign up for, request a specific unit and place. Most of the time you get what you want. As an IRR flyer, you were basically responsible to keep yourself current.

I took some refresher courses, management and such all over the place and enjoyed the sights on the side. Courses and such had a set time requirement but if I was going to help out a flying unit, was usually about a month.

Other than that, I don't know wtf they do now.

They turned my ID off after about 15 years on IRR. They’d be surprised at my current hourly rate

Sort of. A large portion of our active military serves as part of the Reserve Component. I did my whole career and it made it easier to get work in the industry post-separation as a non-Regular officer.

This is done because Congress limits the numbers on the Regular component differently than they do the Reserves. It’s a numbers game where POTUS can only increase Reserve Active Duty personnel without Congress.
