Joining the Military Reserves as an apprentice? 361
Hey all, I'm currently an apprentice with local 361 and I have just finished my first year of apprentice school. I love the work and the union and definitely want to stay in, but I was looking into ways to bulk up my wallet EDIT: spend my weekends more productively since my job site has been running mostly 40 hours a week, with the occasional weekend being sparse. I was looking into enlisting with the military reserves, but was worried that, depending on how long that training may take, I could be out for some months. I am aware that the USERRA would protect me from expulsion, but could I be made to repeat the year if I missed, for example, two months of classes and certifications? Or would I have the opportunity to make those up in the future without adding another year to my apprenticeship?
