If you want to join a reserve regiment - if you wish to be a soldier in the army on a part time basis - you will be expected to commit to that. Can/will you commit to being free the one evening a week the Westies train? Can you commit to being free roughly a weekend a month? Can you commit to being free this coming summer for your basic training?

If so, great. If not, pick one or the other.

On the one weekend exercise a month that you will be required to attend you will need to deploy into the field Friday night, usually parading at the armoury around 7pm for weapons draw, final briefings and kit inspections prior to departing for glory.

If you can't get permission to be absent from football one Friday night a month, you may need to find another way to get your 'gun jollies'.

That should be fine
