Actually, AGR tours are protected under USERRA. They are treated no differently that any other military duty. Keep in mind that limits may apply (normally 5 years, plus exceptions.)
On a separate note, I know of pilots who applied for a personal leave of absence from their airlines, and were granted it, in order to take an ART job for 4 years.
Good Luck!
