Bob,
I saw it first hand in 2006. A soldier who was attached to my company during OIF 1 ETS'd out of the Army after serving his time 3 or 4 yrs. Got out went to college and then was called back via his IRR commitment to help build up 4/1 ID at Riley. He was a 96R GSR guy which the Army was downsizing as a MOS before 2004 time frame. Brought back in same MOS which was even mor epuzzling to me. I know when we were training Advisors at Riley I saw it with several officers that were recalled due to their IRR time. Unfortunately for one of them he was killed the following year in Afghanistan by an IED. Yes it does happen with the recall no if ands or buts about it.
