And their employer may not recognize this for the purpose of military leave and rehire rights. They may lose health insurance from both directions. I got caught in that trap. I had to take sickleave to be on active duty. Demand fairness for our brothers and sisters in uniform.

To answer your question: Unlike current CG naming convention, Storis is not named after a person. The name "Storis" is a Scandinavian word referring to a type of multi-year pack ice found in Greenlandic waters.
