Is a 1 hour & 40 minutes commute to a para unit possible for reservists or should I pick a closer infantry unit?

    Para unit meet every tuesday at 19:00 - 21:00 and I finish work at 16:00 so peak traffic. Is this practical long term?

    Hi Hadyn,

    As with anything, this is down to your personal choice and how much time you want to commit to the Army Reserves including a hefty travel time. Personally, I think that it would be good for you to seek out a nearer Army Reserve Infantry unit and experience what that has to offer. If the itch is still there for P Coy and a role as a paratrooper reservist then you will be able to better know if that commute is worth it by then.
