As a bit of a follow-up, in case someone else is later wondering the same things, I asked an Army Reserve recruiter about what people of different trades do on the weekly training night or monthly training weekend. He said that they do get practice doing their trade. In addition, they do some...
The Air Reserve recruiter told me that they have a few occupations open. I presume that they're open for anyone qualified who applies but I didn't ask the recruiter about needing to be ex-Reg F (the thought didn't even occur to me). I would guess that if it's a requirement, the recruiter would...
That's the impression that I got as well. The recruiters told me a list of occupations that I'd likely qualify for and that they have openings for at their units. But from what I've heard/read, it's not clear whether people in those trades (as a reservist) get much ongoing training or practical...

While doing regular training (at their home unit) throughout the year...

I'm planning on joining the reserves and I'm hoping to get some feedback to help me choose an occupation to apply for. I've talked to a few recruiters (there are army, air, and navy units in my area). There seem to be a lot of occupations available at the moment that the recruiters said...
