And I remember when there was no money to pay the reserves - troopies went long times w/o pay.

Yes! I didn't want to go into that deep of detail but that is very true. I even knew guys that would drop a level just to get to a certain base.
My regular time was spent in the mid 70s to early eighties and the government did not even want to acknowledge we existed much less pay anybody!
It was much better in the 90s when I went reserves but still not great.
Only the last few years that there has been much support at all but that will dwindle again as the economy drops.
