In the active reserve/national guard , it is the day your unit must release you from active reserve duty. This means you do not have to drill once a month anymore but will probably still be in the inactive reserve for some time specified in your contract.
Yes. As an active reserve member you are still under the same contract as active duty. Your most recent discharge is used for benifit information.
Probably not. It's extremely hard just switching from a reservist to active duty, I've heard guys that we're waiting more than 14 months to make the switch to active and are still on hold. Its all about the needs or the Marines reserves and the the needs of the active duty command. It probably won't even be possible to switch, unless you haven't left for boot yet.
No, he quit as an employee for Halifax to pursue a career in media, as Halifax stopped featuring him in future adverts.
That would certainly be a huge surprise to Halifax residents!- - Most of them still seem to think Halifax is part of Canada
Halifax credit cards are available in the UK. If you are temporarily living in the United States or still have a residence in the UK, you should still be able to apply for a Halifax card.
You can. You'll have to do a minimum of two years active duty, at least. The same eight year Mandatory Service Obligation is still in effect.. if you ETS before eight years from the day you enlist, you'll be placed in the Individual Ready Reserve and subject to recall if needed.
when term of service expires, reserve or active duty, no more service is required. The above answer is partially correct. At the end of the 6 year active reserve enlistment, you are required to serve for 2 additional years in the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). In the IRR, you are not required to attend drill, but in the even of National emergency (OIF), your name could be pulled and you'd be attached to a unit as an individual augmentee. After the 2 years, there is no further obligation.
Active duty applies to a person who is in the Air force full time, it can also apply to a reservist who is performing active duty to meet his or her yearly obligation. Inactive duty usually applies to a member of the inactive reserve. They are not in a drill status, but could still be recalled to active duty.
Halifax Mortgage is a company. They are still in business and operating effectively today in the UK and in other parts of the world. They have not died yet.
yes they still do there are many active paratroopers on active duty still to this day.
The question makes it sound like a scenario where one decides to switch from the Regular (active) Army to the Army Reserve in the middle of their enlistment. This cannot be done - you can reenlist into a reserve component after your enlistment in the Regular Army is up, but you can't decide halfway through your enlistment that you want to switch your status to that of a reservist. On the matter of wearing an EIB, yes. You're entitled to wear any skill badges earned regardless of which component of the Army you're in. If you've earned the Expert Infantrymans Badge, Combat Infantrymans Badge, Expert Field Medic Badge, Combat Medic Badges, Combat Action Badge, jump wings, Air Assault wings, Pathfinder Badge, etc., then you're still entitled to wear them if you reenlist for a reserve component of the Army. Same thing with a Ranger tab.
