http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-19940848By all means use your 'Reserves' as efficiently as possible, but it is soldiering on the cheap, and I wonder how many will sign up to it? The regulars weren't exactly treated well in the last decade alone

Most people I know in the TA are teenagers or early twenties. And they don't have flat feet! _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net
