does he still gets to receive his regular salary from the Hill? Or will he have to survive on mere 0-5 pay

I have a friend who's a GS-13 and also in the Navy Reserve. When she does her two week each year, she gets a full paycheck from both (the same) employers. That always pissed me off.

"I have a friend who's a GS-13 and also in the Navy Reserve. When she does her two week each year, she gets a full paycheck from both (the same) employers. That always pissed me off."
Why? Is she doing something that you didn't have the opportunity to do e.g.enlist in a reserve unit?
My employer pays full pay when a reservist is on a two week training cycle and makes up the difference between company pay and military pay for a full year in case of activation. Full benefits are maintained for the duration of the activation.
