  there will definately be positions for reservist mech and techs....even if ST take over at base level but there is huge demand for techs at unit level(esp NS units).

  My maintenance base has lots of reservist techs coming back for ICTs.Techs are usually not revocated because most of us are non-combat fit.

  False.Can you confirm this?Because I can confirm that techs are not revocated, at least if they are PES C and below.

  6d?
  
  or 1g 2g 3g?
  
  what do they do during their reservist?
  after being away for a year, i'd expect many to forget how to repair weapons/vehicles.[/code]

  It's one of the above.
  
  Anyway, refresher courses are conducted for those who come back.There are two kinds..those that are fit to be deployed outfield, aka PES C2L2 and above.These guys might go to ALTI for training, and the rest will instead report to base.
  
  This is all I know so far.

  all the techs in my NS unit are pes C, some did their active in base units, some were ex-regulars, others like me serve as techs in active units.
  
  Pes C does not limit u to base, we all move with the battllion during excercise, FBO rifle everthing plus toolboxes, spares, we are the last vehicle in the convoy and basically repair anything that breacks down, some other techs are also "spreaded out" with the rest of the unit( a little bit like the medics).
