The story is from Hawaii, but also includes comments from other states. I assume the furloughed people are civil service and not Active Guard/Reserve.
1,100 in Hawaii and 1,000 in Florida.

Like Active Duty soldiers, Guard and Reserve soldiers habitually work until the job is done. Furloughs most likely mean tools are put up at 5 p.m.
“The military's furloughs were only supposed to involve civilians, but large numbers of National Guard members who wear Army and Air Force uniforms full-time will experience them as well. The National Guard added military technicians to the furlough list in May, after Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel gave official notice to begin furloughs for civilians.”
Or, this could be an object lesson. “You want us to cut the work week by 20 percent? OK, here’s your f’n cuts.”
