Mr. Mitchell-
I wanted to start out by saying how much I appreciated you taking the time to speak with me about First Tech’s Military Benefits Program last week. Being in the military and serving my country is something I am very passionate about. As requested, I have compiled some personal information below to show you examples of how we can enhance our current benefit.

If the leave is greater than 90 days they would pay 30 days of regular pay to allow the military insurance, benefits, and military pay to begin. This way the military employee would not have any gaps in pay. While I understand that this is a more expensive option for the employer, it did increase the number of qualified military personnel working for my previous employer. It has also given the employer added positive PR in the
