Young ones in the Reserve

[OshawaKid]

Was wondering what age you have to be to join the reserve? and where I can find information about our reserve thats useful not just facts I guess in my area we dont have alot of information about this kind of stuff I've never really seen an advertisement on TV but then again I dont have alot of channels my area is kind of under poverty not trying for the guilt trip or anything just maybe if they tried to reach out more to recruit people in secluded areas we might have a bigger army I know I would join the Army. I think our main problem with recruiting is people scared that if we move troops out to say a major battle they will be guaranteed to move out since we would send a force of maybe 5,000-10,000 and our main army is only what? 20,000-30,000 if that? if we had a larger army it would take the pressure off the Army because you serve some time then come back home and it switches up another 5,000-10,000 move out and do it back and fourth really less stressful on the soldiers this is only my opinion i mean just throwing out some ideas.

so any who the age on the reserve or information about it im done rambling on I like to conversate about our shrinking military maybe it will raise awareness eventually

Go to the Ontario Regiment, theyre in Oshawa.  King and Simcoe St.  Building with the big tank in front of it.  Theyre able to give you all the info you need.
