 Air Reservists at 16 AR Flt usually work normal work days with their units, 
 up to twelve full days per month.  However, if the unit needs them to work 
 shifts, evenings or weekends, they can be asked to do so.  Air Reservists 
 from the flight work for several different units all over CFB Borden (and in 
 Cornwall). 
  
 The minimum time commitment per month will depend on the unit.  Some units 
 are satisfied with six days per month, others want the full twelve (and 
 more!).  I don't think that two days per month will meet any unit's needs, 
 though, but I can find out. 
  
 There is no weekly parade night for 16 AR Flt, but I believe that there is 
 for 400 Sqn. 
  
 There are members of 16 AR Flt that travel an hour or more to work, from 
 Orillia for example, but most live closer to the base than that.  My commute 
 is about 30 minutes, for example. 
  
 Please note that I've written here about 16 AR Flt.  400 Sqn is a separate 
 unit with its own requirements that may differ somewhat so, hopefully, 
 someone from 400 Sqn will answer your post, too. 
  
 Send me an e-mail if you want to know more because I'll need some more 
 information about you so I can determine if I have a vacant position for 
 you.
