I mean, he&#8217;s got six years of &#8220;dwell time&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Me? I volunteered for the Retiree Mobilization back in 2006 when the Army called my Army Reserve niece, a mother of two pre-schoolers, wife of a OIF Marine veteran, to deploy. I figured if they needed her, they&#8217;d need me. I just haven&#8217;t been fortunate enough to be accepted yet. <\/p>\n<p>Step up, Soltz.
