Ethical Question

[jmcquate]

Agree with everything that has been stated. To the OP (the monkey astronaut) a GS reinstatement status, and qualified veteran status is a good thing for future Fed Gov box checking...............go for the 2for..........it's like hitting the diversity jackpot with the OPM gatekeepers for future employment.

USERRA!!
Doesn’t matter WHEN you join, your job is LEGALLY required to keep you on for up to FIVE years, NOT including TITLE X orders.

My recommendation is to give that employer notice of MILITARY LEAVE...NOT two weeks notice that you are quitting...there are added benefits to doing so.

1. Let’s say you go AD, fail out of flight school and hate being SWO (as an aviator, I’m guessing you will)-do your 4 years and go back to your employer.

2. You POSSIBLY accrue 401k benefits -you must review this carefully though

3. ELEVATOR CLAUSE: USERRA protects you from losing promotions while you are on active duty orders. Etc

Just my 4 hapennies

Can I give notice of military leave, when I am not currently on AD, just going AD? Does it still apply?

If that is accurate, which I will read up on, that is certainly a win-win scenario. Being an aviator is certainly out, unless the Navy decides people approaching their mid-30s are worthy to be trained.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You will need orders...which you will get.

Contact the lawyers here in an email...this is the reserve officers association, BUT they’re extremely knowledgeable about all things USERRA...an e-mail will suffice and they will give you the certainties of the law.

These guys will give better advice than all of us here anecdotally knowing what’s best for you.
