Item of interest:
The Army has halted all discharges and retirements for an indefinite
period. Even those soldiers whose active duty service committment
is up - are extended indefinitely.
Also, all foreign service tours have been extended (including Alaska
and Hawaii) for an indefinite period.
My nephew is a Marine LCpl with a Marine Bn Landing Force aboard the
USS Whidby Island (somewhere in the Gulf/Med region) - his term was
up - he wanted to reenlist - and they wouldn't let him - but extended
him 6 months - (he's got a three-month old baby son he's not seen yet -
Semper Fi!)
