I have no hesitation in saying that joining the RNR was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. As previous people have said, you make some fantastic friends who you can rely on 100%; you get to go to some great overseas and British destinations at Pusser's expense; you learn 'hard' skills that you can use in civvy street ( I got my present job as a direct result of skills I learnt in the RNR )and you learn a certain way of looking at the world that helps you in life ( like the Matelot sense of humour).
You get to experience sights and situations that will stay with you long after you've hung up your steaming bats for good and which you can never explain to someone who's led a wholly civilian existence.Sometimes these experiences can be unpleasant , but the vast majority of the time they're great and not to be missed.
I know that some things that happen in the RNR can make me angry beyond words, but then you have to balance that with the good stuff, and the good stuff comes out on top every time.

Good friends, fantastic opportunities, sports, AT, social events, pride in yourself...I've only been in for a year but already I can credit the RNR with bringing about hugely positive changes in my life.
I wouldn't recommend it for everyone though, you have to be really committed to it to reap the benefits, even moreso than the RN. But the RNR has so many potential benefits, if you look for them.

like everything the rnr is what you put in you get back out
I have people in my team who moan about everything
even when they get what they want. but some people are like that
most people enjoy the RNR and do get things back. It is what keep me going, esp when you get a young AB suddenly realise that they have achieved something they never though about before.
Some of the leadership tasks that we provide for the people are great and you do see a sense of achievement in people (even the old hands who act cool saying i've done this type of thing before)
Positive mental attitude and want to learn and grow and you will achieve lots
