Hi Tom
He stated that he was a member of the state guard not the national guard. 2
different things. Some states have the state guards as well as the actual
national guard that is a funtional part of the US defense department,
managed by NGB at the pentagon, while technically under the control of the
gov of the state. I think that he should be given the opportunity by his
employer to respond even if it is the state guard, but the legalities are
different for the volunteer state guards.

Federal Law will not allow an employer to fire a member of the National
Guard. Some employers will make up stories about poor work.
The law used to be called "Soldiers & Sailors Civil Relief Act". The name
has been changed, but the rules still apply.
To cover your A**, document each conversation with a date, time &
conversation comments. Request your unit top send A copy of the Official
Regulations to your employer, supposedly for his information. In most
cases, employers will then make it sound like they were kidding about your
losing your job.
With the National guard & Reserves being activated so quickly, it is better
to cover this problem area now, to be certain you will be treated fairly, if
activated.
Anyone that knows a military member, that is being treated unfairly, contact
the State Military Affairs Office.
MV Note: My M38A1 is finally running, just in time to be loaded for the
Red Ball Transport Show at Gilbert PA. It opens up for set-up at 11AM
tomorrow 9/16 & the show is Fri & Sat. Great Show, Lots of Parts &
Goodies. Look for the Korean War Veterans Association Trailer.
