While Davros may be correct, the terminology is a little off... "active duty" simply means an individual is serving full time in the capacity as a member of the Armed Forces (as opposed to being in the Reserves). "Deployed" or "reassigned" might be the term he is looking for, though almost anyone who enlists or otherwise joins the military gets shipped off to basic training somewhere other than here.

The law, SSCRA, isn't a 'get out of jail free' card, but it does keep the hounds at bay for a little while. Stay for 20 and cell phones won't exist anymore (or at least the cell phone company).

The whole 'tell them you're moving somewhere that doesn't have service' from yesterday's post - it works beautifully.

Just got a very hefty ETF waived yesterday :)
