Just in case this didn't make the rounds yet, Air Force wants the unvaxxed back. Got this email 2 days ago.

What is IRR?
Inactive Ready Reserve. It means they can recall you back to active duty, but you aren't actually in the military. You have no benefits. Everyone that joins gets 8 years of service. If you join and get out after a 4 or 6 year hitch, you are still required to have 8 years total. If you complete active duty at 4 years, they put you in the IRR status until you reach 8 years. After you reach 8 years of service, you have fulfilled obligatory service and theoretically they have no legal ability to draft you back in.
Ah.ok. I knew a guy that got recalled when he was around 50...
If you retire from active service, you collect a pension. There is a catch...if they need you, they can recall you back into active service. You then have a choice, go back into active service or give up your pension. When I was in Iraq in the late 2000's I ran into a Army Colonel that looked like he was in his late 60's. I asked him why he hadn't retired. He was called back into active service because he had some special technical skills that the Army needed. They wanted him to train other soldiers.
basically the same situation as this guy... probably was in the first gulf war..
