Which Reserves ???

[Crawley Spur]

Hi,
I am new to these forums and i am hoping someone may be able to help me out ??
I am thinking about joining as a reserve but i am undecided which to join, is there a better reserve outfit to join than the rest i.e is the RMR better than the TA or RNR ??
Thanks for your help.

Dont bother with the RNR unless you like playing with boats...

as for 4 Para..well... apparently P coy is a real challenge...however a life expectancy of 20 minutes is not attractive and they are nearly all in Afganistan right now...

20 minutes you say? So how come the entire Parachute Regiment isn't dead by now since it's been operating in Afghanistan for the past 3/4 months

That must rate up there with one of the most stupid statements ever, even if it was some how statistically correct from WWII it doesn't hold any weight in reality.

Although maybe you can give us an example of a Battle/War/Operation where the Paras had a life expectancy of just 20mins to back up your claim?

Agreed ,viking you need to stay off the drugs or try to borrow the family brain cell at least once.
