1. Yes, but if you read the contract carefully
you will see that you can still be called to serve on the front lines and the stoploss policy will keep you from getting out on time...

3. You mean the Salvation Army Reserve, don't you?

5. Everyone has to do time on the front lines
Swinging the bell is patriotic.

8. That's fine. Just make sure you get your teeth cleaned
