AOS of Wife/ Activitation by Marines

[mallett_sj 0]

Hi,

A few days ago i recived a letter from the Marines telling me that i am being activated to active duty. I am currently Inactive Reserve (IR) did my service and got out. well, I am the sole provider of my family (wife) and seeing she isn't able to work (AOS)etc..... and i'm a contractor. As a contrator when things like this happen you lose your job because you're a contractor (you don't work directly for the company) they can legily get rid of you when you leave. They don't fall under that law that protects your job until you come back. What can i do to get out of this is there any immigration law that may help?

Are you asking if you can get out of being called back to the Marines? I don't think you can get out of that. You signed a contract. My husband is also in the IR and if he gets called back there is nothing you can do about it.

As far as loosing your job. I am really sorry about that and it's too bad you aren't protected under the law.

You will be making an income in the marines though so your wife shouldn't have to worry. She will also be covered under your benefits.

i'm a former Marine and i think you can get out of being recalled but you will have to prove all of what you said and you may have to report then get released. call the contact on the recall and ask them. or maybe you can get them to let you stay in the states while being on active dutyif this may help. i had a friend who got recalled and he stayed in the states and got promoted while on a year of active duty.

Good luck Semper FI.
