The Royal Naval Reserve is a part-time force of civilian volunteers who provide extra support in times of tension, humanitarian crisis or conflict. To be a Royal Naval Reservist you need to be just as fit as the regulars, meet the same academic requirements, wear the same uniform, and be deployed for active service when needed. You get the best of both worlds by being able to keep your civilian job while getting paid extra for your naval duties.
