There's a lot more but that's a basic summary.

| Re .2:
Forgot to mention that the program is for male/female ages 17-26
(up to 35 for prior service programs) and that if you miss a drill
while in obligatory service status, the Navy can activate you for
up to 180 days with the Fleet (yecch)....what is known in the Navy
as "haze gray and underway" :) :) :)

Re: -1
I believe you have to miss 6 drills (3 8-hour days) as an obligor
to be eligible for 'haze gray and underway'.
I'll check next time I talk to RESFIRST (which will be soon since my
old unit SNAFUed 12 of last year's drills).
Thank GOD for copies of musters and IDTT orders to a better unit this year.
