What is life like living on base within the welsh guards. As well as the promotion opportunities in the welsh guards

Evening Jac,

Really depends what your unit is on at the time. There is loads of downtime, aswell as free gym facilities. You could go out for a social if you wanted providing you were back for duty the next day.

Promotion, you can typically aim to get on a section cadre for promotion after 2 - 3 years depending on how you are as a soldier. It’s achievable if you set yourself a goal.

Once you’ve gained experience in each rank, typically every 2-3 years you could find yourself on the next pre promotional cadre to get on the next course.

Have you already applied?
