in the TA

[Sheps]

is the TA like the national guard, or more like the arnmy reserve?

More like Army Reserve Plus 1.

They actually go to war, training is atleast 2 times a month if i remeber correctly if you want to get paid.

Outside of wartimes you would rarely leave the country, and if you did it would be only something like peacekeeping in somewhere like Ireland or Kosovo.

But with this whole iraqi war alot of TA guys have been sent out there for a couple of months at a time.
