I knew there had to be an ulterior motive. Thanks for the tax break info. I use to be in the USAR. I left just before Desert Storm. The military has done nothing but shaft Reservists what with the stop losses and endless call up. I was lucky. I just had a 2 week call up and my employer was great and let me have the time and not have to use vacation time. I lost no seniority or anything.
It isn't that way anymore. It shouldn't be, but why would you hire and train someone that will be gone on a deployment for god knows how long. Since WalMart views their employees as low wage interchangeable cogs, it is no skin off their nose if their worker goes out. Heck the are sure to have a 'dead peasant' life insurance policy on those workers.
Edited to add...How sad for America when you risk your life to protect your country and the only employment they guarantee is a job at WalMart. Sounds like they are being shafted again.
