If you enlisted for six years (which is the max for a single enlistement or re-enlistment) and did not re-enlist...you then would have a two year obligation in the Ready Reserve...and could be called back to service within that two year period.
In this guys situation...it is just a SNAFU...I suspect.

I believe the King is correct on this.
When I signed my contract as part of the ARMY ROTC program, I agreed to an eight year commitment. That typically meant a combination of Active Duty, Active Reserve, and IRR(In-active Reserve). For the last couple of years during that period I got called up for two weeks during the summer for training and that was it. The military can however, pull you into Active duty ANY time during that eight year period. The contract period varies a bit from service to service. People need to realize that when they sign up for the Reserves, especially these days.
So the IRR is nothing new. Something sounds really odd here.
