    The minimum commitment is generally 27 days training per annum, though it is 19 days for some specialist units.


    Whilst serving part time and working in collaboration with the Armed Forces Covenant Scheme. It's never been easier to co exist. All good companies have signed up to this scheme and accommodate the minimum service and any additional commitments to deployments you may have.


    I'd always recommend the Regulars (Full time) having said, that if you'd like the best of both worlds and want a little insight into what we do, then I'd recommend making an application and speaking with your local Reserve unit to learn more.
