Wage:

Life in the Army Reserve:  

Thousands of men and women enjoy part-time roles with the Army Reserve, operating alongside full-time Army personnel. The only difference is that your commitment is flexible.  

Initial training length will vary based on your chosen role, after which you will normally be expected to serve between 20 and 100 days a year. This could involve an evening each week and one weekend a month, and even extended periods away.  

We do our best to make sure this fits in with your work and family commitments; and deployments are voluntary so if you choose to stay local, there are plenty of ways to make a difference closer to home. And with no minimum period of service, you can leave the Army Reserve whenever you like.
