Then it goes onto say that if you believe this statement was mistakenly left off contact so and so for review and possible amendment ). I agree with you in that how can you not directly or indirectly support the war if your on orders... but rest assured it does not work that way. Please contact Air Force Reserve USERRA affairs for clarification. Having dealt directly with this vary issue in the last 4 months, I feel pretty confident in my views. However, if your orders do say you are in direct or indirect support you are good to go. But, just 12301(d) will not do it. I have know desire to argue the point, I would just recommend anybody contact USERRA affairs, have a copy of your orders they will ask you to fax them for review and tell you if you are exempt. Make sure you clarify before you have been gone 5 consecutive years from Delta.
