Comments regarding Reserves experiences:


Generally excellent. There are some financial and organisational problems that restrict my taking full advantage of the opportunities presented.


To stay in, I would like to see efficient administration alongside a supportive and interesting career. Accommodation is also poor.


On deployments, my experience was that reservists were not given the same opportunities as it’s not their main job! Exceptionally long recruitment process (over 2 years!)


It is my impression that the RAF / Government are more interested in numbers rather than retention / development of reserves.


Back in the 90’s I was a regular on Regiment Reserve Sqn, we had a full Sqn and all the kit we needed to train with. Now, in 2016, we have no Green Fleet, no radios and not all the weapon systems to train with. How are we to retain people if we cannot train them properly?


Recently, a large number of our recruits walked away from training due to being told that they could not be paid for their work that weekend


I wish I had joined years ago! 36 www.raf-ff.org.uk
