Call in the Retired Marines

What up happens when you run out of active Marines to call up? Easy - call up the retired ones!

“Starting in October, as many as 2,500 Marines in the Individual Ready Reserve will begin receiving involuntary activation orders to report for a year of duty, according to a Marine Corps manpower official.” The Individual Ready Reserve is a group of Marines who have already completed their contracts. Looks like your back on duty, fellas. Thanks Rummy.

Wonder what happens when they run out of retired Marines? My guess is that they probably recruit new ones – you and me.
