Finally, Reserve Liability is set out very succinctly in the Service Leavers' Pack.
No, it certainly isn't. For example, where does it explain the difference between 'call -out' and 'recall'?

Each individual leaver should be given a clear, unambiguous and PERSONAL letter which make clear his/her reserve liability with specific dates applicable to his/her situation.

That brochure is a total waste of time in its current form. For example:

Duty to inform your Service Personnel Centre

You have a legal duty to inform your Service Personnel Centre (SPC) of any circumstances which may affect your call-out or recall. These would include any change of name or address, if you believe you have become medically unfit for service in the Armed Forces, or you plan to be abroad for a period of over 3 months.
Really? What 'legal duty' might that be? Where is the reference? And precisely HOW are people expected to inform their 'Service Personnel Centre'? How many RAF folk who PVR'd, say 10 years ago, know that the RAF's 'SPC' is now at Hot Air Command, not somewhere in Gloucestershire?
