Is joining the army reserves worth it (UK)?

I want to learn new skills and still maintain my civilian status and get a bit of pay on the side without being a meat shield.

Just go all the way or no one will respect you.

Don't listen to this faggot. The reserves are a good way to serve your country and learn skills in an auxiliary role. There's literally nothing wrong with being a weekend warrior and you'll get to play with machine guns and explosives. It's a win-win.

>>133510107
End of the day we all wear the same uniform and serve the de country, right?

But anyway it should be good right? Neets on here should do it

>still a weekend warrior
Listen up faggot, everyone in the armed services hates your guts because you are a world class pussy. You get the benifits without serving your country or putting your life on the line because you put on a uniform and play army once a month. Also, don't tell anyone you were in the army, you were in reserves.
>>133510715
You don't serve your country in reserves. The reason reserves are classified as weekend warriors is because they wear uniform only once a month instead of every single day like most enlisted. If real war breaks out everyone in the infantry will look down on you as a burden who didnt have the nuts to go all the way. They won't trust you in a combat environment unless you prove yourself. Even the biggest boot is better than the reserve infantry.

Inb4 OP is a Brit.

It's like being a volunteer firefighter. You do the same service but carry your own weight when you're inactive/not needed.

Nah, the Military's going full SJW. Main reason why I just gave up on the idea. Also, the pay's shit full time and the qualifications are not even civvy equivalent.
>>
>>133513789
Shame because I was interested in mechanic training or so
>>
>>133514444
You may get 'training', but the qualc you'll get won't have the same amount of units as the standard civvy one. Go to a Community College or get an apparenticeship. They're both much better option. I'm doing Electrical Installation this year and can be on £15 an hour within 2 years. With the army, you'll always be on £10. Unless you get to be an officer.

Does the UK army pay an hourly wage?
>>
>>133515233
Nah, Salaried. Typical is £18k or $25k a year.
