I received my TBI in 2017 affecting my right frontal lobe which affects my emotions and impulse control. I'm just wondering if I can be recalled? I can't handle stress the way I used too and I shut down in chaotic environments. I feel bad I can't fight anymore but I'm genuinely concerned I'd be recalled and get people hurt due to my TBI. I was interested previously in getting into law enforcement but after I tried to work at a jail like setting I quickly realized I am not equipped to deal with loud Chaotic environments anymore. Will I be recalled and if so will I be found for to serve? Thanks

No one is going to be recalling you. You're an entry level 31B, your skill set is not one that is so hard to fill that the Army has to pull people out of retirement for it.
There are two primary types of recalls. Recall from retirement, and recall from the IRR. Retirees are recalled when they have a critical short skill like doctors, surgeons, or some other highly technical skill. IRR can be called up to backfill deploying units. If you're disabled then it won't apply to you. Or if you aren't in the IRR, it doesn't apply to you.

SPC Scott Fleener you'll have to meet medical standards to be recalled and retained. If you were separated for this condition, I would not be concerned about it. I would not really be concerned about anyone being recalled from IRR right now.
