How is he wrong? They do have part timers, although they primarily get involved with humanitarian and peace-keeping operations. When you leave the forces you are autmomatically enrolled in the reserves for five years, either active or inactive. Well you were when I left anyway because I had to get an exception because I was moving abroad.
