<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Merely a thought I just wondered if you might consider the state defense forces or USCG auxiliary or civil air patrol (CAP) I only mention it as many retirees ID read often are able to contribute that way quite seriously just a thought look at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sgaus.org">http://www.sgaus.org</a> you might find that of interest the SDFs are very real militaries though state level you likely know of them I'd expect merely a suggestion obviously. <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>To my knowledge you just need to contact a Victor and he will give you some options. I retired August 1st 2015 and by October I had a retentions NCO (victor) calling me about possible options if I wanted to come back.SSG Private RallyPoint MemberMon, 07 Mar 2016 10:42:17 -05002016-03-07T10:42:17-05:00Response by LTC Stephen F. made Mar 7 at 2016 2:19 PM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you transitioned to the retired reserve because you hit your mandatory retirement date (MRD) there would probably need to be a legislative change to call you back to active status <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="77733" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/77733-sgt-edward-wilcox">SGT Edward Wilcox</a>. The exceptions would be if their was a national Mobilization similar to the WWII call up or if you had a skill that is in short supply and high demand.LTC Stephen F.Mon, 07 Mar 2016 14:19:27 -05002016-03-07T14:19:27-05:00Response by 1SG Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 8 at 2016 10:37 AM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It happens fairly often, actually. As stated elsewhere, you need to see a Career Counselor - most Reserve Centers have them) to get the ball rolling.1SG Private RallyPoint MemberTue, 08 Mar 2016 10:37:11 -05002016-03-08T10:37:11-05:002016-03-07T09:56:12-05:00
