Involuntary Call Ups Begin for US Marines

The US Marine Corps said Tuesday that it would begin involuntary call ups for Marines to recall soldiers back to active-duty service to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Marine commanders will call up formerly active-duty service members now classified as reservists because the Corps failed to find enough volunteers among its emergency reserve pool to fill jobs in combat zones. The call-ups will begin in several months, summoning as many as 2,500 reservists at a time to serve for a year or more, reports the Los Angeles Times.

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
’relax,’ said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!
