I have a feeling things will work out..5 months moves fast in situations such as this, meaning
going to war with Iran is insane politicians know this.. The Country will not be in the mood for another Iraq.

(218 posts)Most of the time, when you join the military you join for 8 years. A certain amount are active duty and the others are IRR, Inactive Ready Reserve. My son is doing 6 years so he has 2 years IRR. They can call him back to Active duty during that time.
I'm not religious either, but thoughts are appreciated
