USERRA is a non-issue when you're a non-rated one weekend a month, two weeks a year kind of reservist, which is about the only military participation most civilian employers tolerate. Otherwise, for the rated types, it's a catch-22.
If you're not an airline guy or a co-located civil servant, don't bother with the reserves honestly.
Some truth to this. It's why I'm in the airlines, or at least a big factor.
