I had Acl Reconstruction surgery in June 3, 2009. I have given my Army Reserve unit documentation from my surgeon that says I will be "unable to fulfill my military obligations for at least 6 weeks." I received a call from my squad leader today saying that I have to come to drill this weekend or I will be put on orders next weekend and if I don't show up for that I will be AWOL. My physical therapist will be extending my disability because there was a slight complication with my surgery and I am not recovering as fast as expected. I would go to drill, but I am having difficulty walking, and can not cram into a van for 3 hours without being in a lot of pain. So my question is, is this legal? Can they force my to go to drill while on medical leave?
Can my Army Reserve unit force me to go to drill while on medical disability leave?
