    Item of interest:

    The Army has halted all discharges and retirements for an indefinite
    period.  Even those soldiers whose active duty service committment
    is up - are extended indefinitely.

    Also, all foreign service tours have been extended (including Alaska
    and Hawaii) for an indefinite period.

    My nephew is a Marine LCpl with a Marine Bn Landing Force aboard the
    USS Whidby Island (somewhere in the Gulf/Med region) - his term was
    up - he wanted to reenlist - and they wouldn't let him - but extended
    him 6 months - (he's got a three-month old baby son he's not seen yet -
    Semper Fi!)
