Thanks for your reply! Can I also ask, how long is a deployment as a reservist? Would it be a 6-month tour or could it be shorter?

Hi Alex,
Deployments for both regular and reservists can vary in length, usually they are somewhere between 6 weeks and 6 months. -

Are deployments for reservists Optional? For example, you couldn't get the childcare or the time off work?

Yes, reservists volunteer for deployments. You do not have to volunteer if you have other commitments.
