[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 309247, member: 198"] I look forward to finishing my sentence...I MEAN....contract with the reserves. :) It seems like every time I have a sweet route on a friday it's only when I have reserves that weekend. It's kind of a let down to have reserve duty right after a good route to end a work week. I don't have much time left in the reserves but I sure am counting the days. I look forward to not having to work on weekends ever again. Some people enjoy the guard/reserves but I for me it just went from being an extra [b]LITTLE[/b] waud of cash each month to nothing more than an inconvenience. The job is easy and the people I work with are cool but it's just not worth the time and small amount of money involved. I really like driving for UPS but I really hate the reserves. The two weeks per year we go away for training really hits me hard in the wallet because active duty pay is a huge pay cut from UPS. So basically what I'm saying is that I made a huge mistake in joining. With that said...that doesn't mean others might not like it. I just make it a point to tell anyone that asks that they should take a little more time in making the decision whether or not to join the guard/reserves (and especially active duty) because once you ship off they own you for however long you signed up for. Be prepared to miss allot of sporting events, weddings, etc.. [/QUOTE]
