Is it worth joining the TA?
Discussion
I have been interested in joining the TA for a little while now but am wondering if anyone on here has any experiences they want to share?
I am looking at applying for the engineering side of things (Have been doing engineering now in my day job for 5 years, i am now 23 years old) but am mainly worried about how it will affect my day job.
I have looked at my company policy and I can get up to 10 days paid leave for training a year, and take unpaid leave after that, which is not too bad as i do shifts anyways so will not need to take holiday for all of the training days involved. The main reservation i have is that i love my day job, and really don't want to jeapardise it by joining the TA, and i don't want my managers to think I am taking the piss with the amount of time off etc.
I know i am probably worrying about nothing, but i just need a push in either direction really, so all opinions are welcome
What other things do i need to consider?

It really does appeal, but like you say does need some serious consideration. I will keep you all updated how i get on Gassing Station | Jobs & Employment Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
