1069.0. "Bagels has been QUIET lately..." by GRANPA::AFRYDMAN () Wed May 08 1991 20:46

    If any of you have been wondering what has happened to "JEM"... his
    reserve unit was activated during Desert Shield/Storm and he is
    stationed at Walter Reed Medical Center as a chaplain.
    
    I spoke with him today, and he sends his greetings to his fellow
    Bagelers.  
    
    I'm planning to get together with him next week.
    
    If you want to call him, send me an e-mail and I'll send you his
    number.

    ... and there was I thinking that only TAV-landers get called up for
    reserve duty.

U.S. reserves are only called up in emergencies like Desert Shield.
Fortunately Jeremy wasn't sent to Saudi Arabia -- I imagine it's no fun
being a chaplain in SA.  Come to think of it, Washington may be more
dangerous than Saudi Arabia this week.

    If the crisis has really passed, maybe the moderators
    will enable further replies to topic 668.

I expect they're called up more often than that, else how would 
they stay in training?

I know somebody (well actually it's a FOAF, but I believe the story is
true) who lives in Israel, but was still in the American reserves.  He
got a callup shortly after the war started, and even had to pay his own
way back to the U.S. in order to be shipped all the way back over here
to Saudi Arabia.  Of course, I guess he could have ignored the callup but
that would have caused all kinds of complications if he ever wanted to
go visit the States.  Uncle Sam has a long arm.
