training", other reservists called to military duty are covered by § 11-203(c) of
this subtitle.

As to the use of the terms "reinstatement" and "reinstated", see § 1-101(k) of
this article and its accompanying Revisor's Note.

Defined terms: "Classified service" § 1-101

veterans who were inducted into military service between May 1, 1940, and December 30,
1946, or between June 1, 1950, and June 1, 1959, are deleted as unnecessary in light of
this subtitle and the federal laws providing similar reemployment rights.
