It is easier to get called back if you are inactive reserve, but it is possible to be called back after you have fulfilled your 8 year commitment

So, you could in theory be recalled when you're 60? :thinking:

In theory yes, but usually only a General would be called back at the age, or maybe a highly regarded E-9

My friend's father is a Military trained doctor. At age 57, I believe he was called in. :hs: He may be high ranking as well.

I know, stop loss is a breach of contract too, but somehow they get away with that one. I've never heard of anyone other than IRR getting called back.
