BTW - Paying the 'difference in salaries' has been in vogue for the last 10 years and the "Medical Benefits" stuff is crap. The DoD takes care of all medical during the callup. This is an artful advertisement for Sears.
Being in vogue and actually doing it are very different. There are not alot of companies that actually do it. As for the medical benefits. The people who work at Sears are Reservist of some kind therefore most of the families are NOT near a base and TriCare is a piece of crap. While it may be a good advertisement it is awesome that they do that.
I spent 17 yrs in the Reserves and work for the Federal Government they give you two weeks of military leave and nothing else (you can keep your medical) if you are mobilized so I think what Sears is doing is a good thing
