[Digger54]

Retired and former active duty Marines possibly getting this letter?

I especially like the “what to bring” section. Got a chuckle

I kind of liked the 46 is the new 18 part. The drill Instructor bit was spot on.

The U.S. Marine Corps can recall retired, reserve, or recently discharged personnel back to active duty based on legal authorities and military necessity. [1, 2, 3]

Key Recall Categories

• • Individual Ready Reserve (IRR): Marines who have finished active duty but are still within their mandatory 8-year military service obligation can be involuntarily recalled during a war or national emergency to fill critical job shortages. [1, 2]
  • Fleet Marine Corps Reserve (FMCR) & Retirees: Members can be recalled to active duty under specific federal guidelines (such as 10 U.S. Code § 688) to fill essential military requirements or, in rare cases, face military justice actions under the UCMJ. [1, 2, 3]

Don’t disagree with your facts, but do realize the letter was a joke

I could only assume that some didn't think it was hummorous untill the bottom of the notification ! For myself ,I'm glad I didn't get a notice like this for the Army ! I would @79 be still laying on the floor with a heart attack ! NOW after I read it think it is funny BUT when will the U.S.Army be sending "their notification" out ? I'd have to frame it and hang it on the wall !

I served and I would proudly serve again. I served in AirForce during Nam. I am also a pretty good shot, been shooting guns all my life, been shooting since I was 12, 10 if you count my BB guns.

I was also buying .223 and 5.56 ammo by the case when it was cheap and storing it since ammo never goes bad if kept dry, it is still good.

I have to be able to feed my evil black rifles, I should have enough to stop the first 5,000 "zombies". I also kept my bumpstock for my AR15 and what do you know, it is legal again.

I would have to think the Marine Corps had run out of options to consider bringing me back in at 72 and just having completed three surgeries in the last 13 months

I stepped up my game to .308 in order to take down zombie clown cars too.
