When I retire next year, they better not pull my ass back in
Oh yeah, they're really going to love ME, if they bring back on active duty.

Twenty two years and a wake up, Baby.

1. They called me back, but I told them I was gay and
addicted to morphine.

Funny, they never called back.

3. Were you retired or separated when you got out?
Nice idea you had there. But I don't think that it could work for me.

5. Alrighty then, it's going in the toolbox
I just hope that I don't need to use it.

6. I used to think that would be embarrassing to say, but
you know what, given the alternative of going back in or that, I would prefer the short-term embarasment.

No way would I want to be back in post-911. I mean most of those assholes who took themselves so seriously before are now ascendant, and I could just barely stand them when we could all laugh at them behind their backs, but now...

no thanks.


Alternatively, I have heard of others claiming alcoholism, contact with foreign agents, moral turpetude, marijuana smoking, acid taking, and getting arrested for silly shit.

All of those kept the users from being recalled to active.

Pick one, or two, and have fun.

7. They might want me back because of my security clearance
I've got plans for that puppy when I get out. And none of them have anything to do with me being back in uniform.

9. Ohhh, that is a problem. I had one of those too, but I did
not want to use it when I got out.
I had enough of that shit when I was in.

Yeah, you are in a tough situation there. I think the gay route is the only one you can safely go. I am not aware of any civilian clearances being pulled for that.

At least I don't remember any?

ATC?

11. We'll just have to wait and see what they're going to do
Telling them to kiss my ass is not out of the question

10. Great idea
But alas, I have to go back to work as soon as I can.

Too bad we can't run off to Europe and travel around in a big ass motor home.

That's my dream.
