  My reserve CO and RSM had both extended their reservist training after their 13 year cycle.

  Really, we need more such reservists...I won't be one, because I am undeployable, and secondly, because I am getting a medical review next Friday that will exempt me from military duty..I could effectively consider myself discharged.

  Yah, heard something like that, only reason why they probably extended is because in civilian life they are working for government board or government related companies.
  
  So when they do "Volunteer" services for the government in military it probably helps in their own career interest as well.
  
  Like ticket punching.

  Maybe I should phrase it as Junior ranking..then
  
  I am just curious,.
  
  no offence to lower ranked enlisted personnel in the SAF, They are what makes the SAF. despite being mostly conscripted, its maintains a very professional image..
  
  In order to get anything done, at least in my old camp anyway, One must have a good relationships with all the (low ranked store ICs,Drivers,Coy COS) to ensure a good life. If u are unpopular and high ranking ( they have 1001 ways) of acting blur and covering thier arses, your work/ops/project can stall/fail easily.
