That is recent. This was... a few years ago.No need to bring someone back on AD status as a military retiree is subject to the UCMJ for the 1st 10 years of collecting a military pension. There's a case challenging this working it's way up to the Supreme Court, but they recently refused to hear a similar case (about 1-3 years ago) letting the current situation stand so... Current case, if I recall, concerns a retiree acting as a military contractor overseas (Okinawa?) thought he was meeting a 15 y/o who he chatted online with. Turned out he met NCIS!...the real one's, not the TV stars!
