I know ever since I wanted to join reserves for quite a while but the lack of respect (which is two fold I can understand from a full time officer it is fact that reserves are essentially only in it when convinient) is why I didn't do it. I may look into it again for sure!
respect is earned. Proving yourself is part of the job, and if your skin isnt thick enough for the crust you certainly won't want the sandwich. It's certainly not for everyone, and if they feel that way I generally recommend firefighting or EMS as viable alternatives to contribute to your community.
