What do people think about joining the reg force, doing 3-5 years in, and then leaving to pursue another career and becoming a reserve soldier or officer? I've recently finished post secondary education and I was thinking about joining the reg forces as an NCM, doing an initial contract, leaving to pursue another career, but staying on as a reserve officer. I know of one person who took this route, but I would be very interested to hear what other have to say on this issue, especially recruiters.
Alot has been posted on going from PRes to Reg, but what about the opposite? I read an interesting thread on national service/conscription and the people who posted there seemed to think that a few years of service would be a good idea. But on the other hand, it might be considered a waste or resources to train someone for Regs only to have them then transfer to the reserves?
Thanks.
