But having spent all that time on active duty, I figger the Fleet Reserve is a way to keep their hooks in you, mebbe bring you back in just to get Court Martialed for whatever you might be doing as a civvie.<br /><br />Prolly just a way to be able to man up a fleet if the "big one" goes down. They brought back retired Battleship men for the Eighties Battlewagon revival.<br /><br />As far as it all concerns me, the Fleet Reserve is a club where the ol' lifers hang out boozin' and smoking.Barco Sin Vela IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621907771132379553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17194754360386448.post-67275092179965864302009-09-18T11:02:57.126-07:002009-09-18T11:02:57.126-07:00Ah... we Zoomies have no counterpart to the Fleet ...Ah... we Zoomies have no counterpart to the Fleet Reserve.

Or would that be 22 years of undetected crime? Which: truer than you might think, in my case. :DBuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17194754360386448.post-77587558566762241772009-09-18T10:03:08.308-07:002009-09-18T10:03:08.308-07:00I did 11 years active duty Army and I miss my sold...I did 11 years active duty Army and I miss my soldiers looong time but stay busy through Soldiers Angels and such organizations.
