102 Reserve Battalion - The Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME)

19/01/2026

Did you know that you can find out what it’s like to be an Army Reservist in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers before you join? Our local Reservist Centres can welcome you in during their training evenings so you can come along and ask as many questions as you like.

You can get to know to know the whole team, and share their experiences by coming in for a chat. But here are some of our most frequently asked questions:

Q: Do I have to sign up for 6 years?
A: No. Your time is flexible as an Army Reservist. And in the unlikely event that you don't feel like it's for you, you can leave whenever you like.

Q: Do I get paid for my time?
A: Yes. You get paid for all of the time you’re able to put into the Reserves. And you’ll develop skills and have opportunities to travel, too.

Q: Is there a minimum commitment of days per year?
A: We offer annual rewards for those who give it their all, which offers even further earning potential. But if you can only spare a few days, then that’s fine, too. We understand that you have work and family commitments. And can work with you to make your career as an Army Reservist work for you.

To arrange a visit to your local Army Reservist centre, feel free to get in touch!
