Can confirm. Started at G7 a couple months ago. I literally haven’t even been asked for a memo. I just email them and say I have military and they take care of it. It is the easiest civilian employer I’ve ever dealt with as far as mil leave is concerned. As for time building You can fly literally as much as legally and possible if you want. Upgrade as soon as you hit minimums. Or you can guard card nonstop and fly 300 hours in a whole year if you want.
