Shad

A Naval Reservist. When the term is used by the Regular Force is it derogatory. When it is used within the ranks of the Naval Reserve it carries a certain degree of pride. eg. "Sharpest Hands at Divisions". The term is derived from the fact that when fishing, shad can be the least desirable catch.
