Civilian Employment Retention
Greetings All,
I am hoping to reach out to anyone who has completed an Active Duty obligation/18X contract and successfully returned to their civilian employment.
I am currently on 1 year ADOS orders (being relevant to a 5 yr cap) and am contemplating jumping ship to active duty via an 18X contract. I spoke with AD recruiters and have been told a minimum contract length is 3 years, but this is almost useless as research has proven a 36 month extension upon successful completion of the Q.
I have reached out to USERRA and the Employer liaison for NJDMAVA. I have received two entirely different answers. One being no guarantee to re-employment and the other being the opposite.
New Jersey Law has added protections to USERRA, putting me on a paid leave status each year. Yet, this specific law makes no mention to a 5 year cap as the USERRA does. In my time my civilian employment, I have moved up the ladder, saved a lot of time and paid a lot of pension dues. I wouldn't want this to go to waste.
To make this short. How was your transition from your Active Duty obligation back to your civilian employment. Does your state have added protections which omit a 5 year cap? If in a public sector job, did you lose your time, go back through your academy? I understand this is a complicated issue and state specific.
Relevant fact relating to my employment: From NJ, Police Officer, 6 Yrs in Pension, 7 Yrs NJARNG, 3 Cumulative years on ADOS.
Again, thank you all for PS.com and the QP's for your time, dedication and service.
