Activating IRR is such a shit move. I wonder if it’s only for certain critical MOS or something. Can’t imagine getting out of the military and having to go back (happened to friends of mine)


Best guess: specialist systems like EW or missiles that are being stretched by Ukraine support. IRR also got raided before Iraq II for linguists and certain intelligence specialists as well.

Pull back some of the Russian language specialists or ELINT analysts specializing in late-Soviet or post-Soviet systems, etc.

"Guess what killer, you're the only expert on Borisoglebsk-2 who doesn't have a drinking problem. Welcome back."

Could see them doing similar for Chinese system specialists or linguists.
