    Good Morning


    Being a reserve soldier while at university is entirely possible. There are two routes you could choose. Firstly joining the Officer Training Corps is an option where you undertake Officer training concurrently to your studies. These units are full of students and are very aware of how your studies can impact your training and vice versa. Secondly the option is to join a local reserve unit. This is the route I took and I very much enjoyed it. Similar to the OTC it can work along side your studies but you will become a trade trained solder in the regiment you choose to join.


    I hope this helps and send me any further questions you have.
