yes I know quite senior (RSM) people in the UK TA (reserves) who got sent to the gulf for an extended period - though that company does sponsor a TA unit so was fairly cool with it.

Do they have a choice in the matter? I'm just curious because here in the U.S. companies are obligated to hold your position for you until you get back.
I think there are sanctions (you are pissing of Liz II) and of course it might effect the senior mangers if their name came up for a gong or other honour.
They have discussed making it mandatory for employers to give paid leave to TA members for annual training.
