Fellow British Pakistanis on PDF, the British Military Reserve wants YOU!

[Wolfhunter]

When Army 2020 was announced in 2012, it represented one of the biggest structural reforms to the British Army in decades. A part of that change is to recruit more Black and Ethnic Minority soldiers and officers, especially among the reserves.

What are the Army Reserve:

The Army Reserve is the largest of the Reserve Forces. The Army Reserve provides support to the Regular Army at home and overseas, and throughout its history almost every major operation has seen reservists operate alongside their Regular counterparts.

Army Reserve Soldiers come from all walks of life and work part-time as soldiers for the British Army alongside full-time Regular soldiers.

Regular Reservists are soldiers who have left the Regular army but are recalled in times of need to come back and join operations alongside Regular soldiers.

What do they do:

The Army Reserve has two clearly defined roles. Firstly, it provides highly trained soldiers who can work alongside the Regulars on missions in the UK and overseas. Secondly, it gives people who have specialist skills, like medics and engineers, a range of exciting opportunities to use them in new ways.

Over the next few years the role of the Army Reserve will be expanded and they will work even more closely with the rest of the Army. This means that there will be more opportunities for people who want to enjoy the challenges that come with being a Reservist.

Family members have served in the reserves back in the 80's and 90's, no one since.
I do think we need to bolster the professional ranks far more and not to rely more on the reserves, a strategy coined by the tories.

Happy to fight for queen and country but not for the Zion cause!

Lol...

This is a goldmine.

I agree sadly due to the budget cuts the army has already been reduced twice once from 120,000 to 100,000 and now to 80,000. The 35,000 reserves are the only reason the British Army can still be called an army, any armed force with less than 100,000 soldiers is called a "self defense force" as with Japan.

The army should have never been reduced and no amount of technology can make up for men on the ground, who are needed in all aspects of military operations. According to population size, overseas territories and global commitments including NATO, the UK's army strength should be around 300,000 soldiers. It's not just the politicians but many folk around us who have sat back and let this happen.

But no thank you.

Agree, but I seriously doubt we will ever get back to 2001 levels of manpower in the Army. Just look at the Police as an example.

 

[The Diplomat]

I’ve always been interested in a career as an Officer.

A lot of my friends from ethnic minorities sereved in the RAF Cadet for Under 16’s... They left it as they moved onto A-Levels but from what I hear it was a great experience.

1/4 GMP lost their jobs sadly and hooliganism is evident in the youth...

I have done both CCF: Combined Cadet Force and Territorial Army, but unlike my friends at university who opted from UOTC: University Officer training corps, I chose to serve as a Territorial Army solider. You can still join reserves, the late joining age is 44.

24,000 less cops, 6000+ less armed cops since the Tories took over and it's going to get worse:

Join up as UOTC if you are still in University, UOTC is minimum commitment compared to the Territorial Army:

If you stay with it and like it after 3 years if you graduate you are guaranteed a slot at Sandhurst!
