I am in the Iowa National Guard. I have one week off between BLC and my upcoming deployment and I am scheduled to work my civilian job every single day. Is there some type of leave that covers the time before deployment?

I was told on a Thursday afternoon that I had to be in Ft Leonard Wood Saturday morning for MP conversion school with 18 month follow-on mobilization to Ft. Benning. Had to walk into my boss' office and tell him he wouldn't be seeing me again for at least 20 months. He graciously gave me Friday off so I could at least get some shit together.

Talk with your employer about having that time off - most of the time they are receptive and will understand as long as you aren’t an ass about it.

Military has zero control over that. That is between you and your employer strictly.
