The Army Reserve was on show when the 25th/49th Battalion of the Royal Queensland Regiment opened the doors at its University of Queensland Gatton depot on 18 June.
Promoting part-time employment opportunities and providing insights into Army Reserve life, the evening enabled potential recruits to engage directly with serving soldiers.
Attendees learnt about the roles available, the flexibility that Army Reserve service provides to fit around their lifestyle, the ability to choose the number of days they worked, the ability to serve close to home, and the tax-free pay they receive while doing so.
They were also provided an insight into the training they would undergo to equip them with the skills and knowledge to undertake their new chosen role.
25/49 RQR spokesman John Sipple said that Army Reserve service provided roles to suit an individual’s skills and interests whilst fitting in around their civilian lives.
“It also provides a challenge outside everyday life,” he said.
25/49 RQR has its headquarters at Greenbank with company headquarters located at Toowoomba, Logan Lea and Southport. Across the Darling Downs, it also has depots at Gatton, Warwick, Dalby, Wondai and Roma.
