Hello
I am in my second semester of Grade 11 and i am considering joining the reserves but i am unsure about a few details of service in the reserves. I know that you do your parade nights one night a week and train one weekend a month but i have heard differing reports on what is required of a reservist in regards to summer training. One reservist i talked to said that you are shipped of too Basic ASAP (albeit he served a number of years ago) and another said that only 2 weeks of service is required of a reservist in the summer months. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers Marconi
P.S. Also does anyone know where i should go to apply to the Aldergrove Artillery reserve? They don't have a listed address on the CF website but my recruiter said they share the base in New West with an infantry reserve so should i go there?
