    Peoples Attitudes changed when stated I was joining

    I tell people I'm in the Army Reserves and they often go "Is that Cadets?"  I then explain that it's the same idea of the National Guard except we can only go overseas if we volunteer. I haven't had anyone tell me it's a bad idea, I just get a lot of indifference. My parents (esp my mother) are...

    RMS Clk Occupation Name & Job Function

    The title's fine. I'm a reserve clerk with the Cameron's in Ottawa, doing QL3 Part 1 now. I really like pointing out to people that I've been on more ex's than some of the infantry guys in my unit this past year. I don't find "clerk" a derogatory title; it's what we are.
