HOME General Questions Will the Guard affect my civilian job? Generally, membership in the Guard has a positive influence on civilian jobs. Many employers seek after the skills and leadership that you acquire. Some soldiers find that their civilian and military jobs compliment each other while others seek to add diversity to there lives and skills by serving in a capacity that is quite different than their civilian occupation. Regardless, your membership within the Guard should not negatively impact your civilian employment. There are Federal Laws that prevent employers from discriminating against an employee due to his or her membership in the National Guard. In addition, if you are called to active service, your employer is required by law to allow you to return to the same job you had when you left. The Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve organization has a web site located at www.ncesgr.osd.mil/ncesgr/owa/index_html.display_index_html that can provide additional information.
