My dad retired from the Navy too and was in fleet reserve. Not that I really need to tell you the odds of actually getting recalled are slim. Since they'd use the active and inactive reserves first. Considering the Navy's been downsizing by making reenlistment eligibility tougher, I wouldn't worry about it.

This July first, Sweden finally abolished its 109-year old law of mandatory service. It was supposed to have been done like ten years ago, but the old geezers running the SDF are stubborn to say the least.

6 and 7 seem to be the ones to retire at, not a lot of 8's at all.
Most countries had a two year stint of conscription.

Between 18-24 months IIRC, depending on the branch and assignment. They've been getting flak for not applying the SDF in meaningful ways the past couple of years, other than Afghanistan and Kosovo. It's grown into a very large, peace-time administrative officer corps, with thousands of majors and captains but few senior officers with experience.
We got this out of it, though. :.)

I am getting caught up on things, lol, only running about 6 weeks behind now.
4th wedding anniversary is, umm, well, today, as it is after 12 my time. 11th year together.
My thrift shop is picking up on business, my online businesses are moving along, and my non profit is up for an award.
Not too bad of a year really. Or, I guess it's picked up a bit since I started this thread.
Omega, how is the run going?
Lee, congrats, and, what is the gobsmacking about? Uber library?
