will he still be able to go active duty down the road?

There are waivers for everything.  He needs to make sure to keep all the documents from the surgery and even have his doc write a letter describing in detail what was done, what kind of hardware he has (type of screws, plates, rods, etc) and what it is attached to.  Then, he needs to talk about what limitations if any he will have.

I think that he will. It may not be this year, but next year for sure. That is if they pitch to him and not walk him all the time.

Wow..You've got a long hard road ahead of you hun, yes, you do go where he will be stationed but, you don't deploy with him. I have no idea what state you live in but, you need to contact base houseing and ask them to put you in touch with a K.V ( Key volunteer) these are Army wife's, they can answer any question you have and be there for you when your husbands gone. Feel free to Email me if you have any other questions or just to chat. lvn3814@yahoo.com\n\nBy the way, I'm also a Military wife\n\nStay Strong

without a doubt.  if they don't go to iraq, they will go to an army base somewhere to fill in the slots of the active duty guys who are in iraq.  right now the army is pulling people out of field artillery units, forcing them to reclass to mp's and giving them 18 month orders at various army bases.  good luck to them

he never saw active duty as in overseas active duty. he was a pilot in the texas air national guard. however, he was a pretty slick draft dodger during vietnam.

I think he will after this season. If he stays healthy through the season, he might play one more season to break the records. He definately has slowed down.

No, but the REAL scary thought is...\n\nIf he declairs Martial Law on the whole country he can serve indefinate if he makes up enough excusses to keep Martial Law in effect.\n\n;-)\nTwisted...

All Active, Guard and Reserve services implemented an "Up or Out" policy in the 70's. If your friend's husband is in the Nat Guard, he has to progress in rank. Active soldiers have a shorter period given to do this, Guard and Reserve soldiers are allowed a longer period between promotions, primarily because their training periods are spaced out by weekends, not full time. Answer 2 is right about slots and moving to new units where slots may be open. As to the question, Is he Active Duty, not officially. As an NG soldier he can be "Federalized", meaning that he or his unit are placed under the control of an active forces unit. His home state no longer pays his salary, the federal gov't pays it and determines where he is assigned or shipped out to. Depending on his age, he can ask to be considered for Full-Time guard positions, if he has a skill needed in a full-time position (i.e. Admin or Maintenance or Training). There are hundreds of full time NG and Reserve soldiers needed to keep the NG and Reserve units running when the rest of the unit personel are doing their civilian jobs.

Yes, he can. Both crew members go through helicopter school at Ft. Rucker and there is pilot controls up front.
