Is it possible to apply for a reserve officer position while having other work at the time (two days a week)?

I have an economics degree, would that be relevant for any position?

    Hi Timothy,

    A role as an army reserve officer is part time with most of your routine commitments being an evening drill night. Most roles ask for a 27 day a year commitment which breaks down to look something like this:

    32 x Weekly drill nights ¼ day = 8 days
    1 x Annual camp = 15 days
    2 x Training Weekends (these are usually held monthly) = 4 days
