Not true:

The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA),
prohibits discrimination against persons because of their service in the
Armed Forces Reserve, the National Guard, or other uniformed services.
USERRA prohibits an employer from denying any benefit of employment on the
basis of an individual's membership, application for membership, performance
of service, application for service, or obligation for service in the
uniformed services. USERRA also protects the right of veterans, reservists,
National Guard members, and certain other members of the uniformed services
to reclaim their civilian employment after being absent due to military
service or training.

Hi
Before you say that there is one thing to note. He said the "State Guard"
not the Texas "National Guard". 2 separate things and they do not have the
same legal protections re. employment. I feel his boss should allow him to
participate, but if he choses not to it is his choice where the "State
Guard" is concerned.

Later

Good luck and be safe. Boss can't fire you - it's illegal. Contact your
chaplain corp, if they don't know what to do, they know who to talk to.
Your boss may just get a very interesting phone call :)

Texas State Guard will be going to East TX to assist with the refugees
coming from Louisiana when the storm hits, if it hits.

Not Iraq, but it's plenty good enough for this old fart.

Called my boss, per policy, and all I got out of him was thinly veiled
threats toward my job, concerning military service taking too much time away
from work and how something has to be done about it.

I don't understand his major malfunction. I wonder what would happen if he
fires me? Can he do it? I bet he would, and make up some cock and bull story
about some other 'reason'.

See yall tomorrow if Louisiana is very lucky, and in a week if I am very
busy..
