Question
Is the Navy calling up Officers(or anyone) from the IRR ? (Yet?)  Or are they only taking volunteers ?  It seems to be a well-kept secret....  With 12-1/2 good years, and a SEL-RES, am trying to decide whether to resign or just go IRR. Don't want to be recalled, so weighing the risk...

Answer
Dear Michael --

The Navy is calling up IRR officers in certain specialties for service around the world.  If you absolutely do not wish to be recalled to active duty.  I recommend you resign your commission.  

Best of luck to you, and thank you for your service.
