[quote="Bazooka_Joe":12fde]That REALLY sucks.

The way the military goes is you don't know certian things until they happen, or until you see it written on paper.

If you sign up for 6 years say, you serve your six, then you sign a paper, boom you're done, right? Nope. You acutally sign up for 8. 6 Active, 2 inactive. These last two years are reserved if there is a war/chrsis on our hands, and we need more troops. You are basically still considered enlisted for those two years, but you don't have to goto drill when required. That's what happened to Totenkopf, sounds like. hake:[/quote:12fde]

Its called reading the fine print. Everyone in my platoon knew this -

And so should he have.
