What makes a: Reservist

The strength of the Army is the people, and the Army Reserve is no different.

The Army Reserve is the largest of the Reserve Forces and allows you to learn new skills, meet new people and provide support to the Regular Army all in your spare time (while earning some extra money). Find out if joining the Army Reserve is what you're looking for.

There are a range of ways you can join the Army Reserve. The best route for you will depend on your age, qualifications and even your location. Most people joining the Army Reserve go to their nearest centre. Once you've found the unit for you, call them to arrange the next steps.

Training to be a Reservist is flexible and can fit around your life, so how much you spend is really up to you.

Everyone joins for their own reasons, but here are some of the best bits:

• Making friends

• Learn and use soldiering skills

• Opportunity to play sports & get involved in adventurous training

• Change to travel

• Making a difference

• all while getting paid!
