Interesting that as a reservist you don't get deployed overseas. So different from the US. Look a my son Master Sgt. Chris who was deployed twice to Iraq. He's a reservist, not active duty. You will still have to deal with the types you escaped from in the first place won't you? How about your rank? Are they offering you an increase in rank to join? Anywho......good luck.
B-)
I think you can volunteer to go over as a reservist. No increase in rank thankfully. I can probably keep my rank but if I wind up on the hangar servicing and fixing planes, then I will ask to relinguish my rank(from MCpl) to Corporal, that way I won't have to do the annual evauluation reports on techs underneath me. That was one joy of leaving the military. I don't wish to go back to writing those damn things again.
Funny part is Cpl pay is only 5 bucks less per day.
extra 5 bucks isn't worth the headache.
Another perk with the full time reserves is I do not pay into the pension so that is more money in my paycheque.
More time off, more money, perhaps I will get to do some couple vacations a year. Want to take the missus to scotland, vegas, new mexico, switzerland. we'll see. I have the money set aside for Scotland, just don't have the time or babysitters now that her parents went back over to middle east for work again. Mid east countries like having us cdns as their bitches, er I mean slaves. They pay well. Locals don't teach,etc as they are too wealthy to learn what work is. So when the oil runs out, their money runs out, and then they won't know how to live/work like us westerners.
