    Question regarding reserves

    Your unit will dictate your allowance based on your geographical area. Most will not turn you down if you are a regular worker, but they will most likely deny your commuters assistance if there is a unit closer to you. Also as of now bmq is offered on weekends, throughout the summer, and as a...

    Reserve - How long does it take to start training after report in

    As redcap stated, go show up. Most units have a PAT platoon for people in your position. No training, no history, no idea what they are doing. In short it is essentially some SNCO's or Officers with...no real purpose... mentoring and assisting new troops in preparing for their basic courses...

    Any review/comments on Lowa Elite Jungle boot?

    medical question

    Hopefully you have come to a solid answer within the last few months. If not, go talk to a recruiter they should be able to give you an idea or at the very least point you in the direction of someone who has it. I can see it being an issue depending on branch/trade but who knows right?

    I chose this thread because I figured there was a standard that was across the board, with further consideration I guess the administration thread could be a better option. Perhaps a mod can move this to a more fitting thread? Also thanks all for the replies, I'll check those out

    Can a reservist possibly get the same training as Reg?

    The reserves are what you make of it. Yes, the regular force is a 365 day/year gig and depending on the trade/position a member is in, they will be exponentially more knowledgeable than there 50 day/year reservist counterpart, but this is all to be considered with a enormous amount of variables...

    "Training to the test?" (split fm Res Hand to hand)

    This is unfortunately...not too uncommon. The military tends to focus on having successful candidates more than failures. Try to see it from a broader spectrum. Hypothetical time. You are on your Infantry course; brand new to the way of the army, and newer to tactics. You are learning about...

    Nijmegen Marches - Merged Thread

    Hopefully this hasn't caught you too late, the Nijmegen march is a great change of the everyday work week. NORMALLY a CBG or a specific unit will send a team to partake in Nijmegen, when I did it the march was 40km/4 days totalling 160km... which sounds more intimidating than it really is. If...
