Stop Loss is usually applied when a unit is placed on alert for mobilization. We had it apply to some soldiers who were about to retire & a couple that went over age 60 while deployed. Also, it prevents a soldier from transferring to a non-deploying unit.

Most of the troops I have worked with haven't been too worked up over stop loss. Some of us get a little burned out, but it goes with the job.
