The same thing almost happened to my husband. If it had not been for his direct supervisor sticking up for him it probably would have happened. With that said, we talked to his recruiter who said "he can't do that and he doesn't want a JAG knocking on his door." I would suggest talking to your husbands recruiter ASAP so that he or she is aware and can make a phone call if necessary. I'm no lawyer, but to me that screams discrimination. Not to mention places of employment have to hold a job for deployed personnel by law, so there probably isn't much difference in firing someone for joining.

Thank y'all! He called his recruiter and their talking about it. His partner stood up for him also. I guess he and I are hurt more than anything because we move to Nebraska from georgia for this job and for them to even consider doing that after the owner praised him for doing this is just shocking. Thanks for the info again!

My moms best friend has a son who was let go for missing too much work. He's in the Reserves and the "missing work"was for his duty required for the Reserves. He told his superior about it and he was furious. Long story short, he got his job offered back to him but he was so disgusted by his boss he turned it down. Service members can't be penalized by their employer for being service members. Glad to see your husband had talked to his recruiter. Hopefully all works out well for you!
