Patience. It took Glen about six months to put the names I'd given into the TL. It'll happen in due course.(And when are you gonna use my name?)

First of all, great couple of updates in general; my lack of commentary is largely one due to tacit approval combined with general business.
Secondly, not only did this latest update come as a nice aside for moms everywhere, but also a neat tribute to the late Mr. Perkins as well. Good stuff!
In the sense that there's a rather large cadre of trained and semi-trained men who have indicated at least some willingness to serve. If congress will provide the green, there's an easy expansion route without spending precious political capital on conscription.More leeway in what sense, Geordie?

Also, it might be that a President can order an army leavened with Called men to do tasks that a conscript army could not, certainly not without much negotiation on the Hill.
I'm wondering about DSA-verse neutrality patrols and the like.
We could also see Yankee volunteers heading for Southron garrisons, much like OTLs "Canadians" with funny accents.
Depending on Iceland, the DSA could be routing convoys up the US coast. Could cause fun and games if French and Spanish subs are prowling off
New England and the Maritimes (great band).
This reminds me a bit of a direct version of some of the make-work programs of the New Deal, building up national parks and such, that had the side effect of training several million men in group outdoor physical work, which kinda prepared many for soldier work when Dec 7 1941 rolled around.
