Question

Only serious answers please.... just what you would think based on experience or knowledge.

Answer 1

very likely,,

Answer 2

The Army Reserve requires that you make an 8 year military commitment, serve at least one weekend a month and two weeks a year. Terms of service for Army Reserve enlistment's are 1-6 years. Additional duty is possible. As an Army Reservist you may be required to serve full time when needed.

Reserve troops allow the Army to be more flexible in that it can expand to meet the defense needs of the United States.

Army Reserve troops must be able to mobilize quickly and skillfully in times of war, disaster, and crisis. The Army Reserve is called upon to function on American and foreign soil keeping peace, security, and defending the United States, the Commonwealths and Possessions, and any areas occupied by the United States. The Army Reserves also work with the Active Army and the National Guard to provide support to the citizens of the United States during emergencies by providing food, shelter, water, medical treatment, and any other appropriate civil support during times of emergency or disaster.

As an Army Reservist you may be required to serve full time (Active Duty) in times of war, crisis, disaster, or other emergencies

Answer 3

I agree with the above answer - very likely. Although I don't know why, the reserves are frequently among the first called up. My father (army reservist) was called at the beginning of the first Iraqi war. I have a friend who's in the air force reserve, and she's already served 2 terms in Iraq, one in Afghanistan, 2 in Bosnia, and one in South America.

Answer 4

I would be surprised if the unit you are asking about is not called up.
Just because a unit is called up does not mean that they are going to the sandbox.
A friend of mine spent 18 months on active duty in Newburgh, NY and then 6 months in Rota, Spain.
Another spent 2 years in Texas.
I on the other hand spen 10 months in Central Asia.

Answer 5

My husband became somewhat over-weight at the same time as he joined the Air stress. He became DEP for nearly 3 months awaiting an starting up into BMT, so he had a lot of time to get it off. He became least complicated 15 pounds over the load restrict, so he dropped 25 to get nicely and below it. You also favor to keep in mind that once you're muscular, then the load restrict does not continuously practice. it is in which the body fat % is offered in. i'm particular you'd have the capacity to do tremendous. basically artwork fairly complicated and settle on to it one hundred%.

Answer 6

cantcu is a dumb a.s.s and probably wouldn't know a trained soldier from a boy scout.

The reserve forces are call upon on a regular basis. They are trained, and because of their dual status as regular world employees and military trained soldiers, in many cases are better prepared than some active duty people.

Answer 7

Yes, it depends on your Military specialty. The current norm seems to be 1 deployment in a five year cycle for a Reservist.

Answer 8

It would actually depend on the mission of that unit and what the unit does, many Transportation and Military Police units go.

Answer 9

i think about 30% of the troops in Iraq right now are reserves.

Answer 10

If they were I would REFUSE to go!

Republicans are cutting widows benefits of those who died in Iraq from $25,000 a year to $13,000 a year!! Want to die and leave your family that.

Republicans have no honor!


If they are called up, they are not ready for any combat service, just as the National Guard is not!

Draft a Republican!

Answer 11

As of right now I dont think its very likely
