Get more money in private sector and still able to go overseas, without all the hassle in between.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

Originally posted by hptmurphy View PostOverseas is out of the question for reservists until security of tenure in civilian employment is under pinned by modern legislation... and they wouldn't get more money as they wouldn't be paid their civilian employment while deployed , only their UN pay.
They would also receive their line pay Etc
Also you assume overseas means Syria, Lebanon etc for 6 months... not necessarily:
- family friendly tour is 3 months I think
- could be a few days to a couple of months to bring over equipment (eg drivers), upgrade systems (eg CIS, engineers etc)
- could be a few days to a few weeks at a conference, exercise, course, competition
“Overseas” is a broad description in the Defence Act

You just need another on the opposite 3month family friendly policy. I'm sure that will not be a huge hurdle to get over. Plenty of Reservists have spoken about there desire to serve overseas, if government do it right they will have employment protection, if gov dont do it right, those Reservists onn low paid jobs, could be really tempted to take a break. Remember they will be on fulltime pay from forming up and UN while deployed and paid on leave when they return. Gives them the chance to get savings together and up skill their cv. This is a great opportunity, should it come to pass, and a real boost to reach our 4900 strength.

If an initiative to get reservists overseas did get off the ground, I'd imagine an infantry 3* who had lost his job still wouldn't get within a country mile of going overseas in that role.
