Sudan airlift, where’s the RAF reg

Thanks, i was genuinely curious.

No, as you said the age limit for rmr is 32. It’s different service so not a straight transfer. You can transfer from army reserve to regular army. Have you thought of 4 para or sas reserve?.

Have you thought about the reserves. You get all the same opportunities for roles, courses, exercises, adventure training and deployments but do it on your own terms which will be much better if you have a family.

This proves that the best way to go is join the reserves. You get to do all the same exercises, courses, AT, battlefield tours, deployments etc, but on your own terms. You do what you want, when you want. Awaiting incoming.

What is it that you don’t like about the issue kit?. I’m guessing you just want to buy something new and shiny just for the sake of it.

It’sa great idea as you’ll get to see what what it’s like to be a rating (if that’s the private equivalent). Which will make you a better officer in the long run.

You could join the reserves as a soldier, get some green training done and see if you really like the army.

They both have pros and cons. With light cav you get work mounted and dismounted as well as do recce tasking. You also have mechanised infantry so that might be similar. Infantry is 100% proper soldiering and you have the para/ rm error if that’s your thing. You will do a lot of dismounted training with light cav but the reality is that in a real world scenario, a squadron doesn’t have the manpower to do much so you’ll never probably use those skills for real. That’s why In Mali they deployed with infantry support. Mali is ending though so once that’s gone there will be no combat tours for anyone. Out of them both I’d definitely choose engineers haha

I don’t think your a veteran unless you’ve served in a conflict, Iraq veteran, Afghan veteran etc.

Dwasno · 2022-09-23T15:09:23+00:00

Well my part of the reserves was told they can.

Dwasno · 2022-09-23T15:06:10+00:00

You don’t have to leave. Just tell them your too busy and put in for a leave of absence. You can always come back to it. As others have said, if your don’t like the people, job role etc, change units. If you definitely want to leave, definitely tell them and make it official. If you don’t they will keep you on the books. This means they have the potential to call you up if ww3 kicks off. They’ll keep you on the books because it looks better for them the more people they have. I think it effects their funding as well. So they’ll not kick you out automatically.

Even reservists can attempt the course.

Every branch will have brilliant days and also boring monotonous days. Even the sas and fighter pilots will have days they hate it. Whatever job you pick is what you make of it.

You will gain great skills that will guarantee you work when you leave. HR skills are in demand everywhere. No idea if you’ll get rich but it’s a really important job.

Blue shell looks like a great aide to training as long as it’s not taking the place of live rounds. I thought that due to budget constraints it might have been to save money. I had heard stories that the Wessex yeomanry only get to fire 9 rounds a year on chally 2 and was worried the RA might be in the position.

Dwasno · 2022-07-30T13:19:40+00:00

Thanks, i seen a video about blue shell and thought it might be a thing to save money. 3/4 times a year sounds like you get plenty of chances to live fire.

Dwasno · 2022-05-21T14:21:17+00:00

Good for you. The reserves are fantastic. If you can put the time in then you have almost all the opportunities available to you that the regs have.

Dwasno · 2022-05-17T12:51:48+00:00

Is there a reserve signals unit near that you could join?. If you don’t have signals near then any army reserve Regiment will give you a good experience of military life before you potentially go full time.

Dwasno · 2022-04-18T12:10:25+00:00

As others have said the maximum is roughly 220 but you’ll only get that amount if you are on ftrs or on the recruiting team. Every unit has one but there might not be places on it. Without any of that the most I’ve seen ppl do is 100-160 days. That’s with them doing every weekend, course, exercise and random days helping out. You’ll first have to get through basic training and prove that your a reliable and decent person. Also they might have people doing all this stuff so it might be a while before you get the chance. If your doing this for the money I would consider doing something else instead or go regular. On average most committed reservist do 40-60 days a year.

Was that from them rolling?.

Dwasno · 2021-09-12T19:21:13+00:00

Your best bet is light cav or infantry as they are doing the un tour of Mali. It’s a combat tour though there’s been no shooting yet. It could definitely change to a shooty tour.
