Sponsored Reserves
Actually, we do have this system - as I understand it, 'Sponsored Reserves' are civil servants whose job requires them to be a member of the reserve forces and bpt deploy every so often in uniform. It was in vogue a while ago when we had a cap on military posts, and I think that a Sqn at EGUB was going to employ one as an ops clerk. Anyone know how that went?
It's dreadfully cheap as you get nearly a serviceman for the capitation rate of a civilian.
