 9    other than an independent contractor, who is a member of  any
10    reserve component of the United States Armed Forces or of any
11    reserve  component  of  the  Illinois State Militia, shall be
12    granted leave from State employment for any  period  actively
13    spent in such military service, including:
14        (1)  basic training;
