Seasonal Federal employee enlisting

I’m currently in the process of enlisting in the air reserves. I am a seasonal park ranger with the national park service, I work on the new 9 month season they brought out this year. for the remainder of the year i am laid off. I have to reapply each year but I have rehire rights

Nobody at my park really seems to know how that will shake out whenever I’m shipped off.

I’m aware that there are strict protections for civilian jobs, but it’s less clear with it being seasonal and all. Couldn’t they just claim my season expired in my absence, or that funding dried out?

will my job be held if i leave halfway through the season? will i have my rehire rights? Will I receive the two weeks of military leave?

thanks. kind of an odd question I imagine

Enlisting in the reserves while seasonal?

I’m currently in the process of enlisting in the reserves of the armed forces. Nobody at my park really seems to know how that will shake out whenever I’m shipped off.

I’m aware that there are strict protections for civilian jobs, but it’s less clear with it being seasonal and all.

will my job be held if i leave halfway through the season? will i have rehire rights? will I get the two weeks of double dipping pay? any advice is appreciated y’all!
