I have read all I can garner on the reserves and have determined it is my ideal career path in the Forces. I plan to have a career in the reserves while hopefully fulfilling a full time duty as a police officer after university. Was wondering if any long time serving reservists could offer any insight by way of a PM or in this thread?
Some questions I have:
1. How often can you make it out to parade? Do you find this effects your progression and or performance?
2. Have you been deployed? What was the experience like when returning to your full time job?
3. Have you transferred to other units because of your main source of income?
4. How does the role of a reservist differ from a regular force member when both deployed in the same theatre? My understanding is the training is sometimes different and lessened in the reserves, is this reflected in the position they may occupy when deployed?
I understand each situation is different but I would like to see some of these instances which is why I placed this in the personal stories section. Any reserve experience from individuals who work other full-time jobs is welcomed.
Thank-you in advanced for any responses.
