If anyone becomes eligible for recall due to this discharge upgrade, it’d be a very small number and even then, there’s next to no chance that they’d actually get called up. Can’t rule it out entirely because something about a Sith and absolutes (and because I don’t care to dig into the statistics) but realistically, it won’t happen.
…a member described in subsection (b) may be ordered to active duty by the Secretary of the military department concerned at any time.
(b) Covered Members.-Except as provided in subsection (d), subsection (a) applies to the following members of the armed forces:
(1) A retired member of the Regular Army, Regular Navy, Regular Air Force, or Regular Marine Corps.
(2) A member of the Retired Reserve who was retired under section 1293, 7311, 7314, 8323, 9311, or 9314 of this title.
(3) A member of the Fleet Reserve or Fleet Marine Corps Reserve.
(4) A retired member of the Space Force.
This section states that retirees of armed forces branches and reservists may be recalled to active duty. The thing about subsection (d) refers to a program where officers could choose to retire early so doesn’t really come into play for what we’re talking about. It’s worth noting that a service member who completes their contract is not necessarily a retiree which is why the recall authority doesn’t apply more broadly.
