I just talked to my friend Jay (who is also former Army) and he said that my dad is safe...the wording of the CNN article is confusing...when they say "Any former enlisted soldier who did not serve at least eight years on active duty is in the Individual Ready Reserve pool, as are all officers who have not resigned their commission." they really mean any former enlisted soldier and officer who has served within the last eight years. CNN worded it poorly.
Unfortunately, this includes Jay, who's 8 years are up in August, so now I feel crappy for giving him bad news.

I hate hearing stories like that about guys who have put in their time and are just a few months from getting out. I really appreciate what they do for our country.
