Spearin said:"Regs are better because they do it full time"
The Argylls (reserve unit) won a Bronze Medal in the International Cambrian Patrol competiton in Wales (Brecon Beacons) this year, beating the Canadian regs, American Delta Force, Green Berets, 82nd Airborne, and even Rangers.
That proves that some reserves can be better at some things!
(I was told this by a liaison to my corps, a MCpl)
Yeah that's perfectly believable. Delta Force & Rangers are elite. I mean if it was a contest for hostage extraction or something along the lines of Counter-Terrorism (or other Special Forces) oriented work, they'd most likely win. For basic soldiering, Reservists are as effective as Regs but they just work less hours.
