Michelle's post about LTG Helmly's memo prompted me to find the document.  You can view it here.  Unfortunately, it is in Acrobat 5.0 so I couldn't copy it into an article format directly.  It amazes me that this document was publicly released.

I also found a report from the Washington Times regarding proposed changes in tour lengths/multiple connsecutive tours for reserve and National Guard troops.  I heard some rumors of this back in October stating that the issue was being quitely guarded until after the election.  Well, here it is.  Read and evaluate it for yourself.  From my perspective, this is not good news for reservists.
