Hi.
I am new to this so go easy... I am from northern Ireland, male, 33 years old
I will be getting attested for the REME this week but from I've been a young fella i have always wanted a career in the army, my dad was it it and some other family members so it's always been what i wanted to do, for years I was getting turned away due to my weight and height which was hard to take but I went away and I done what I needed to do and got the grades I needed to join the REME.
I am now in two minds should I join the resevers or go full time , I'm 33 now but I'm fit play football 4 times a week and coach football also times a week , my csm says it's up to me what path I pick now.
I would like some advice please on this , but also I don't really get the reserves pay?
On a drill night you don't get the day rate so is it just an hourly rate etc.
Sorry if the grammar isn't good , as I say this is my 3rd time of trying to get in and I can't see me having any problems with the basic trainning. So it's a big decision that I need your help with.
Sorry if this isn't in that right place , Thank you for your time.
Gary.
