Not first time on standby but haven't been activated before..
Hope they faster call if really want to mobilize. Don't want to waste my whole weekend!
Could differ from unit to unit but mine usually it activate is sat after 12pm, sun morning or sun afternoon. Weekday is 99.99% wouldnt activate.
In the past used to be just go & sign in. If u report M+1 u can leave. If u M+2 after sign they will hold u for 2 hours then go. M+3 hold for 3 hours, etc. Whole idea is to encourage u to go early.
But now new system liao. They feel its meaningless to just go and leave. So unit must conduct something. If u lucky it may be something not too time consuming like revision of weapons handling or maybe some foot drills. If u sway u could be sent for range. If u sibei sway u can kena equipping & move out for overnight exercise.
Times have changed. Quickly do your ICTs & MR. Dont defer. Nowadays more & more pattern which means its getting sh*ttier to be reservist.
On a separate note, did u know that nowadays during ICT all reservist must go for route march? Also, for those newly ORD ppl, apparently during ICT also must do SOC & VOC. Gone are the days when going for ICT is like going for paid holiday.
