Comments regarding Reservist and Regular integration:


Much more could be done in terms of base facilities available on weekends i.e. gyms, shops and bars, all often inaccessible at weekends. Reservist accommodation usually worst on camp...


The integration has changed over the years. In 2001 the regulars would not even speak with a reserve let along want to work alongside us as they thought we were trying to take their jobs. Now you wouldn’t know if it was a regular or reserve you were working alongside.


Once regulars get to see you are actually committed, do a full time job as well as this and have to do weapons and fitness test twice a year they usually come around to the fact that reservists have twice as much to do much of the time.


Full time RAF personnel are having a hard time seeing their posts go and being taken over by reservists. There is some resentment in my opinion.
