Hello, I am new here and I just have a question that maybe someone can answer, and maybe your answer will help someone else as well. Some time in the future, not really soon, I will want to transfer from the army reserves into the reg force. No, my question isn't about how hard it will be or how long it will take. My question is: Do members of the reg force have the same respect towards former army reserve members as they do towards their peers who have been in the army reg force since the beginning? I ask this because my buddy told me that you basically get s*** on by other soldiers if they find out that you were in the reserves. Is this true? If it is, I was told that I should ask for my rank to be stripped before I transfer because it has something to do with authority. Any opinions?
