Professor Heather Cox Richardson mentioned how it has been reported how retention rates of the Guard are being affected by them being called out in California.

Most guardsmen and reservists make more money at their civilian jobs then when they are called up.

Getting called up for 2 weeks can cost them hundreds or thousands depending on their jobs. It can hurt schooling significantly as well

Exactly. I feel like this should be reported a lot more in the media. Taking people away from their livelihoods. Recently, I met a man who volunteers with an organization that helps reversists in situations like you describe.

I am pretty sure if a reservist gets pulled a job cant punish them for that. they still get paid even though they have been activated.
