First off, I signed on the dotted line 19 years ago, and continue to serve my country in the reserve component. I have spent many many months in those such locations.
Second, It absolutely ****es me off when I hear about people who get hired and the immediately drop mil leave. Not the ones who are being deployed (that happens) but rather the ones serving in home station positions doing exactly what they were doing 3 months ago. For these guys, it’s usually NOT a pay cut as not only are they making more than first year airline pay (at just about all airlines) but they are usually also trying to finish out their 20 to get that check of the month.
That’s not what USERRA was intended for and it gets abused way too often.
Go preach else where!
