exempt the 57,795 military technicians from furlough - the only military members to suffer the cuts

Created by Q.C. on March 25, 2013

Due to the sequestration and subsequent furlough of Government Service Employees - the National Guard and Reserves are being placed in a dangerous position of unreadiness. More than half of the uniformed service members that support the guard and reserve are Federal Technicians - responsible for readiness, training, veterans and military issues, etc. Yet now they will not be able to function in their roles and both State and Federal support will suffer. It is essential to include National Guard and Reserve Technicians to their true role of Military members also exempt from the furloughs.
