Hey everyone I've been interested in joining the reserves for some time now but was wondering if anyone on RS is in it as I have a few questions.

Where do you serve if you are in the lower mainland.
How long have you been in the reserves?
How was your experience? Was it the kind of stereotypical view seen in a movie like Jarhead? Was it positive, negative, any complaints?

Were/are you in university at the same time, how does it work when doing both? Are the reserves accommodating or do they frown upon attending school at the same time.

Did you choose the option of tuition funding in exchange for mandatory service in the future (the certain amount of funding = 6 months of service), wouldn't it be better just to be paid in the normal wages and divert your earnings towards tuition payments?

How did it impact your life?

I think thats all I have for now..
