Reservist Duty

I'm on a three-week tour of reservist duty again; it's quite similar to what I did in March. The exercise is quite disruptive especially for people who cannot afford to leave their jobs or who need to go back home. In Singapore, the main fighting force that will be mobilised in times of war will be the reservist, and not the professional army (because there aren't enough of them.) I'm interested to know more about the reservist system found in other countries. If you need to do similar things in your own country, please leave a comment!
Update (!): This in-camp training was featured in the June issue of Army News. I'm seated in one of the trucks at the back. :)
