Im curious how many service members were out for a number of years and then went back in. I've met some who were out for as many as 8 years and then reenlisted after 9/11.

I was out for nearly 10 years. The hardest part was taking a "voluntary" reduction from E6 to E4 to get back in....

I took a short break after 11 years on AD when one of my old Platoon Leaders called me up and sold me on coming back, I then entered the Reserves, it was somewhat of a shock but I adapted. when all was said an done I was shy a couple of years for 40 years total service. Didn't stop a recruiter from calling me and talking me in for another 2 years but HRC was to slow with paperwork and I took full retirement instead. Funny thing is about 2 months after I took retirement I got a call to take a physical and return :)

83 to 91. After 9/11 I wanted back in. Waited until Sept. 2006. NVARNG.
Made one stop in Afghanistan in 12-13.
Still in. Getting med boarded out.
Would do it all over. But with shorter break, maybe
