Chance of reserve call up?
With the coming conflict in Iraq which I am sure will go ahead no matter what the UN weapons inspectors find, the govt is calling up thousands of reservists.
Question is, will these all be grunts in the army "cannon fodder", or is there any chance that ex-RAF aircrew will be required (such as myself).
I know a few civvi airline guys still fly weekends as active reservists, but I am talking about guys who haven't touched military hardware for say 2 to 5 years, but who are still liable for recall.
Also if recalled would aircrew reservists go through some kind of short OCU, or just go into ops support roles etc.
Thanks for any enlightenment on this issue.
