[quote=elfouquer;627980]. If written orders have not yet been received or are unable to be provided in advance, submit a written notification to your Base Management that contains this information as soon as known.
This is illegal, they can't force you to supply them with a written request before you go to drill, use ftp's, or are on orders. The law specifically says the request can be made verbally or be written to take time off for military service.
Reserve/Guard personnel that volunteer for additional military assignments should attempt to schedule these periods around planned company “days off” in order to minimize schedule adjustments.
This sounds illegal, but they only use the world "should" which legally means you don't have to schedule anything around compay "days off."
