looking at the past posts the TA might seem a real let down. Pay, late bounnties, no pensions, training problems, buggerance factor, civvi jobs the list is sometimes endless.
But something keeps us in and I just wondered what other people think it is. I once spent a year out of the TA and hated it, being in the TA gives many things quite apart from the pay and bounty (important though they are).
For my part being in the TA gives a sense of purpose and focus different to every day civvi life. I enjoy the training, like most of the people and positively look forward to going. When you see faces you have not seen in a while it makes it all the more worthwhile.
So all those nasty bits aside, what keeps you in?
