Army Reservists recruitment fears from yo-yo calls
Top officers warned the recurring pattern of calling up Reservists for crises and releasing them could erode volunteer recruitment for the National Guard and Reserve. They cautioned repeat mobilizations might push employers to avoid hiring Reservists, complicating efforts to reach the 700,000 man goal and raise the risk of longer absences from jobs. President Kennedy sought standby authority to mobilize up to 150,000 Reservists as post Berlin tensions linger.

Schirra Jr.’s six orbit flight later this month. The belt, 200 to 700 miles up, did damage three satellites and reportedly proved stronger and longer lasting than expected.
