Surley, if the MOD want the reserves thing to work then potential recruits should be able to make the initial approach at ANY MOD Establishment/Office/Recruitment Centre, with the Service then following the enquiry up within a reasonable time, say 72 hours?
With todays modern communications and the multiple options provided to communicate it really shouldnt be hard to achieve.
The difficult bit is making the reserves (and full time service) attractive to people so they actually want to join and the Services (helped by the Govt) are spectacularly failing in that respect!
Bring back the high street careers office!
