As for mandatory time off for reservists, I agree
wholeheartedly. I've been interested in joining the
reserves for quite some time, but with work and school,
the time just isn't there. A common complaint that
employers have is that if the reserves got extra time
off, people would use and abuse it too much. There is
also the perception that this would mean that people in
the reserves get extra "vacation time". I think the
best compromise solution would be that the reservist
gives up a week of his annual vacation time to offset
the time off given for training. I know that the average
reservist would still be away more, but it's a somewhat
fair arrangement that way.
