You can over here.. I'm thinkin about it
You can do evenings and weekends, but that's the home service of the Royal Irish Regiment. You guys don't really need a full time OR part time home service over there.

I plan to join the TA and if I enjoy that with the training etc I will eventually progress into the army.
At least it gives me a taster into army life and will make me better prepared.

I was in for a while, we did do OBUA, we did a few all night exersises, it was a good laugh but they are all tossers 
Went on exersise with IV Para once, so unfair... AK's V SA80's, they kicked our ass'

Clicky TA
 - it had to be done
seriously though mate- its a good idea.
A good mate of mine joined the army 3 years ago and still loves it. Intelligent lad who knows ecaxtly what he wants to do. Lots of good career oppurtunities and a respectable discipline

Not really, the 2 week annual camp might a bit but I really can't see you joining and lasting past recruitment phase

"A lot of people think that those in the Territorial Army are not real soldiers. We are. We are well trained, highly disciplined fighting machines ready for war. We're just not available during the week." haaha jokes!
