BZZZZZZ, we got a wrong answer here Chuck.
There is something that most people dont know about. ITs called the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). What this is, is something thats included in your military contract that most people dont read. What this says is that you actually serve 8 years in the military altogether. After your active period, you go onto the ready reserve. You merely have to tell the military where you live once a year and how to get ahold of you. Should they need your specific skill set, they call you up.
The only people who should be exempt from this are those whove served 8 years already. See, if you serve 8 years in an active status in either the active or guard or reserve components, you have no IRR time. When your time is up, its up. Youre free of the military's IRR obligation.
