Hi, as a Reservist you volunteer to be mobilised or go on long term exercise. Unless full scale war breaks out the chances of you being told to go to combat are extreamly unlikely. The opportunities to do so much more than just drive though are brilliant - as a driver you could get to see all over the world on various exercises (if you want to), you have the opportunity to do Adventureous Training and alsorts of other things. I hope this helps.
