Apologies for taking it to heart, just heard the same reaction a few times from people i have spoke to. I take your point and fully agree with it when you say reservists are only gettin used more and more now as its so much cheaper for the government. Your view on the reservists getting there "...

Would you have the same advice and smart ass reply if i was called up to serve alongside you and i just happened to save your arse...doubt it.

If it is the same one, then it's called Fighting Fit. Tells you about training,techniques,nutrition and tests. Apparantly they have stopped making them now but i got a copy from my local library, they had a few infact! So i would try there, would probably be your best bet.
