Pondering at joining the TA and was wondering ;

2) In your opinion does joining effect your career progression . I.e promotion prospects etc ....
Much obliged !Last edited by **CuNnInG StUnT **; 31-01-2012 at 19:25.

It depends on your employer, a small organisation would likely not stand it. Use the search it's been asked times many.

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cros...s" since the blitz in 1940

Too many have glossed over this point in the past and employers are decidedly wary as a result.
Bottom line is you need to talk to work and ask. If they are not supportive then regrettably you either jack in the TA or get a new job.Feles mala! Cur cista non uteris? Stramentum novum in ea posui.
