I was IRR for a few years and was Involuntarily mobilized and sent to Afghanistan. I had enough years to retire when I got back, so I did. So yes, you can be called back but it is unlikely once you pass 60 years of age.G26ster wrote:I'm in an odd situation. I'm both retired AND reserve. I'm in the Retired Reserve. I served 14 years active, and 9 years in the Individual Ready Reserve. I did not build enough "good years" in the IRR to get a 20 year letter. So, after 23 years I got notified I could either be discharged or go into the Retired Reserve as a "patriotic choice." I draw no benefits, but as I understand it I can be recalled during a national mobilization, even after age 60 (as most retired folks can). I'm 68 right now and would gladly serve if called, but I'm afraid I'd never pass a military flight physical. Too many "gittin' old" issues.
