My son is 35, married, 2 little children, a teacher, and has already done 4 years in the navy, honorably discharged 12 years ago. He is under Colorado law.
At this point he has taken the National Guard physical and is waiting for the general to sign his papers because he is over 34. Oh, yeah... he plans on going to officer training school, too.
I heard from more than two ladies that their husbands joined the National Guard Reserves non-deployable unit, only to be sent to Iraq, where they are now. The California National Guard does this by creating a new unit from different nearby divisions. The new unit is "deployable" and these unsuspecting newbees are sent to war for a year and can be sent back at a later time.
Is there any truth in this?
