Right on !
If they want you back you'll get a letter from them like the one I got in '88. Never did get the phone call tho. If you recall, this was just prior to the 1st Gulf war.Team Roper wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 8:31 amRight on !
I was going to re-up right before the cut off age so I went to Ft. Bragg and went into the 82nd Sport Parachute Club where I used to sport jump from and talked to the officers and NCO's there over some beers. Since I was still married at the time, it didn't sound like a good idea since the Rangers spent at least 10 month out in the field training and same with the Green Berets. Regular Infantry like I was in was 6 to 7 month in the field and over seas as well. I was not the type to be a desk jockey so I decided against going back in even though I may have got my Sargent stripes back within a year. Had the Army not cut me a bad deal after my second tour in Nam, I might have stayed in but I was three months at the hospital on post at Ft Knox and when I went to re-enlist, they said they were taking me off jump statis and assigning me to Tanks and training cruits.Prior to my going back to Vietnam, I was guaranteed a permanent spot on the Army Parachute Team, The Golden Knights , but since they would not let me go back to Bragg, I got out even after they offered me another stripe and a bunch of pay. Seems to me that after two combat tours a Seargent could get what he wanted. Not so.GunnyGene wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 8:44 amIf they want you back you'll get a letter from them like the one I got in '88. Never did get the phone call tho.

If they have a need, they will fill it.
