What it takes to be an Army Reserve

Jersey's Army Reserves meet every Wednesday at Le Quesne Barracks.

Recruits work army life around their day jobs and can be called upon to serve at any time.

ITV News' Louisa Pilbeam went to one training session where volunteers were getting weapon training.

Islander Spencer works in finance by day, but by night he's working for the army and handling guns.

Because reserve soldiers can be called up at any time they need to learn all the skills of a full-time soldier.

Corporal Wayne Tickner says in the past reserves have been on tours in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Regular training exercises take place, more experienced reserves showed our reporter Louisa how to camouflage a vehicle, like they would in a war zone.

The reserves are looking for new volunteers, you'll have to pass a fitness test but there are opportuniteis to become anything from a chef to a medic.

Private Bert Colantoni started in the Royal Engineers but then moved to the Medical Corps.
