    I heard this too, Steve, from a friend in Israel.  The "average"
    person's duty is up to 60 days, apparently; more for officers. /Fern

|  |     if the average is 60 days what's the norm? 
    
    How does industry cope?

|  |     Could somebody in Israel supply more details on this, please?
    
    The things I'm interested in are whether this is supposed to be
    temporary, or the new standard, and whether it's retroactive (for
    those who are already in miluim), or only for those who are about
    to transition from full-time to reserve.
    
    The numbers I remember before the increase were:
    
    privates	30 days
    non-coms	45 days
    officers	60 days
    
    Can you also supply the new numbers?

      Its only supposed to be for the present financial year. As temporary
      as anything else ;-)

      No. The maximum number of days is for the WHOLE financial year.

      Sorry, don't quite understand the question.

One of our group's projects currently has about five people 
working on it.  It's a real pain because usually you have 
someone who is just leaving, currently out, or has just returned
and needs to get up to speed again.  
BTW, the 60 days is always broken up into at least two stints 
with about 4-8 months in between.
One of the more interesting aspects of life in Israel is the 
ability to cope with things and the speed which new twists on 
life are assimilated into routine.

| 475.6 | Reserve means also discretion | TAVIS::JUAN |  | Mon Jun 13 1988 10:42 | 9 | 
|  |     Friends:
    
    Being the reserve duty a specific military matter, I don't believe
    it should be a matter of public discussion (at least on this side
    of TAVLAND).
    
    Regards,

| 475.7 | the number of cups of tea I drink --CLASSIFIED | TAVENG::MONTY | LEG has it now .... FCS '92 | Mon Jun 13 1988 17:08 | 14 | 
|  |     Juan,
    
    You are correct that military matters should not be discussed in
    public. This includes such things as military units, location, bases
    etc etc....
    
    However, maximum length of miluim duty has been publicly announced on
    the news and been reported extensivly in the local newspapers. 
    
    It has also been reported in the international press, thus we can't
    define it even as a small military secret. ;-) ;-)                
    
    Shhh,
