Their actually doing a program where they send reserves on Peacekeeping missions and other out of country missions.

If your a reservist, you can volunteer to take on a mission.

About 1000 troops just left for Bosnia last month I think and they were all reserves.

This is the first time they have tried this and if all goes well, they'll probably do it more often.

So if your a reservist, and want to get out there, you haev a chance.

I wouldn't doubt that the govt is doing this because we don't have the resources needed to put regular forces back out there. Sad really, that the liberals just totally ignore the facts. There have been so many studies. Practically every day a new one comes out either from CSIS or from the Auditer General that says the CF are about to collapse and they need money. But Chretien just seems to miss the point every time. He will not spend any more money on the Forces. God I hope he leaves sooner than 2004.
