Hmm...  Isn't 'Reservist' the correct term?  Hadn't ever thought of the activist term though.

Well played.

No, 'reservist' is not the correct term. not at all.

I was a Reserve Soldier, not a "reservist", certainly no more than any Active Duty Soldier would want to be known as an "activist"....      We were Soldiers. 

   (hey, that has a ring to it, maybe we should get a movie with that as a title.....)

Perhaps we are actually both correct.

In the Army folks are not referred to as reservists.  In the Navy they are.

I guess I learn something everyday.

The Army changed their motto a few years ago to "army of one".  thus there can be no difference between active and reserve status folks.

in my case, I was a "squad of one" in the old "Army of one" and am considering a book on my experiences in the Combat Theater in Kuwait and Iraq.  (replaced by a 'team' or squad of 11 career counselors upon my departure).

Refresh.  Not a bad response thus far.

Glad to hear from more folks.  Thanks for the response thus far.

To catch up on some clerical work, here is a brief description of my tour of duty.  Radioman 3rd class, attached to ComCruDesFlot12 1968-70.  Duty stations include Dam Neck, Norfolk VA,& Mayport Fl.  Ships included the Topeka, Newport News, Shangri la, Saratoga, Yellowstone, Yosemite, Shenandoah, &Tidewater. Tours include the Med, Caribbean, & North Atlantic. Would love to meet up with my old shipmates including all the chess players along the way.
