MODERATORS
If anyone becomes eligible for recall due to this discharge upgrade, it'd be a very small number and even then, there's next to no chance that they'd actually get called up. Can't rule it out entirely because something about a Sith and absolutes (and because I don't care to dig into the statistics) but realistically, it won't happen.
10 U.S.C. § 688 (Retired members: authority to order to active duty; duties)
This section states that retirees of armed forces branches and reservists may be recalled to active duty. The thing about subsection (d) refers to a program where officers could choose to retire early so doesn't really come into play for what we're talking about. It's worth noting that a service member who completes their contract is not necessarily a retiree which is why the recall authority doesn't apply more broadly.
Yeah I'm not aware of any mechanism to recall any former enlisted servicemember past their IRR period.
I figure if things get bad enough that they'd want any of us fat, broken old(ish)-timers back, we'll see some new laws on the books making it possible.
DADT ended in 2011. The military would have to be pretty desperate to want most of those veterans back in service.
Bruh, if I got out and fulfilled my IRR honorably and whatnot, and then I was recalled years later, I would promptly smoke all the pot in reasonable distance from me the moment I received that recall notice.
I'm sure the existing draft covers it, but we'd be a long way down the list.
