It is also a concern that many of our Reservist families may not be able to access the RAF community support network during periods of separation, perhaps because of their location or lack of awareness of what it available to them. The Federation believes that more could be done to support these key members of our community.


It was heartening to note that 27% of our Reserve colleagues felt that they most enjoyed being able to combine a military and civilian lifestyle, while nearly a quarter felt that the opportunity to serve their country


was the most appealing aspect of RAF Reserve life. On a continuing positive note, 81% of voters told us that they had a good Reservist/civilian work/life balance, which is a stark contrast to the response we received from our Regular voters when we asked for their perspective of their work/life balance.


In stark contrast to their Regular colleagues, 90% of voters told us that they would recommend the ‘RAF Reservist way of life’ to others, which is a positive note to end on.
