Lots of useful info there. Thanks.

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...

I asked a recruiter. He said that pilots in the Air Reserves are ex-Reg Force pilots. Other trades can be recruited without prior service.

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...

Thanks for the feedback and the link. I'll check that out.

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...

Thanks. In terms of full-time opportunities (at sea or otherwise), would NWO and Mar Tech have more-or-less the same amount of opportunities? Are cooks also in demand (and have a good chance of full-time work on a ship)? While doing regular training (at their home unit) throughout the year...

Hello. 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...
