my sister is in the 1st infantry in germany- one of the units called to go to iraq in december so we can give those pissed off military families a nice gift for christmas and try to salvage their support for bush. she is supposed to get out of the army in january. since she is in germany, they have begun the paperwork and the whole process of shipping her stuff and her car back to the states. is stop loss in effect now? (no one can get out of the military 90 days before they are scheduled to go to iraq or 90 days after they get back) does stop loss refer to the reserves only, or does it include active duty personnel? thanks!
that "stop loss" has been in effect since 9/11. They knew that many people would try to get out ASAP, especially from units that were about to be shipped out. The other thing is: they need to keep the "experienced" troops around in order to have some sort of organization.
