Here’s another take: I understand that Southwest routinely asks pilots if they called in sick to make it to the interview. They then call their HR to see if they were telling the truth. They don’t like people who abuse sick time, and check for integrity.
This seems similar. If you are on MIL leave, that time is to perform MIL functions, NOT shop around for a new CIV job.
Any properly lawyered up HR department will, in response to a written request, provide the following (and no more):
Date of Hire
Date of Separation
Beginning Wage
Ending Wage
Job Title
..... and is most definitely NOT going to take a random phone call asking about someone's sick leave usage
