That's where me and Bush were. Yep, reservists in the roaring 80s. A man could get so lost in the paperwork. It happens, even with officers. Orders are issued that say one thing, and everyone expects another. And the service requirements actually vary from state to state, and unit to unit, with some commanders playing Colonel Blake, and others running around as Colonel Potter -- and the occasional General Patton.

According to paperwork I looked at some time ago, he out-processed his unit, since his civilian occupation required him to move. In the region he moved to, he could not attend regularly scheduled Reservist meetings. His location was reported and acknowledged by local commanders. Unless these same commanders say anything, nothing more is required.
