[MENTION=67012]paulpedals[/MENTION] I appreciate the response. This was exactly the info I was looking for. I'm a little familiar with the federal rules regarding Reserve employment and penalties etc. The airlines have a lot of guard and reserve members and usually HAPPILY work around those schedules unlike some companies.

I only wish I could volunteer to help out with natural disasters like the guard does. I got hit a little hard here in Pompano Beach Florida( I'm on Ocean Blvd) but not nearly as bad as the Keys or Puerto Rico and wish I could do more, but as of now I cant get the time off from my regular job.

With the above said. I'm far into processing with the reserves and getting ready for the next board.

Btw who/where is their sister unit. Are there any Reserve units in Fort Lauderdale or SE Florida?
