Today I received an email from the government seeking retired military members to volunteer their services to return to active duty for the crisis. They listed medical specialties but stated that anyone wishing to return to active duty would be considered. Of course it is a given that the retired servicemember remain qualified. They also specified that they do not want to take away people who are already working in hospitals, etc. 0 Likes
