Retired.

This is coolbert.

From the input by Colonel Craig USMC and thanks to same.

Consider within context of the most recent activation of U.S. military reserve personnel as a response to the Atlantic Resolve mission. 

 As headlined is applicable to Navy and Marine personnel retired with continuing pension only?

"RETIRED NAVY AND MARINE CORPS - BECOMING 'UNRETIRED:' RECALL TO ACTIVE DUTY"

"You can be recalled to active duty anytime the service wants you. For this reason, military officials often refer to military retirement/retainer pay as 'reduced pay for reduced services.'”

"Department of Defense (DOD) Directive 1352.1 places retirees into one of three categories, with Category I the most likely to be recalled during times of war, national emergency, or 'needs of the service'”

Category I: Nondisabled military retirees under age 60 who have been retired less than five years.

Category II: Nondisabled military retirees under age 60 who have been retired five years or more.

Category III: Military retirees, age 60 or older, and those retired for disability.

I would have assume and expect the activation of retired military personnel under Directive 1352.1 would commence under only the most extreme of circumstances. Individuals will a very special skill, background, experience always in demand.

Shirking and refusing to go not on the table. You must go!
