Any one in the IRR, how is it working for you. Been contacted by an IRR recruiter yet to volunteer. Anyone Volunteered to go back in and serve a tour. If so how did that work out. Been retired for Seven years now, going through Army Withdraw.

Assuming you are a gray-area retiree, check out http://www.apd.army.mil/jw2/xmldemo/r140_10/main.asp#ch6 for details about transferring from Retired Reserves to Individual Ready Reserves (I do like your conflation of the two though ... ;):
If you are an active duty retiree, the AR 601-10 applies (http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/r601_10.pdf) (you're not transferring, you're doing a retiree recall)

Good read Sir, I saved it for more research, it might be that my diabetes is not a disqualifer, but again it might be.

I think the it is wrong for MRD (mandatory removal date) to be applied for officers who are otherwise performing well. and physically fit. One argument can be made we need the slots opened up so younger people may advance. Here would be my fix. Instead of MRD being mandatory retirement, allow and option to stay in IRR and continue to be able to earn points; that would also make less administrative burden if those people need to be activated rather than pulling them out of retirement. It wrong to send these experienced people to pasture. One way they can ear points is to assign them to mentor younger reserve members.
