Hello, I am good thank you, I hope you are well too.

Apprenticeships within the Army start during Phase 2 Training or Trade Training. During this you'll be in the block (Single Living Accommodation), however you do get the chance to go home each weekend. Addition to this the chain of command will provide dates to take leave so through most of your leave dates you'll be at home if you wanted to be.

Overall you'll be away from your parents but will always have the chance to see them and spend time with them.

I hope this helps.

Great questions!, We do have IT based roles within the Army including your interest in Cyber Security. All soldiers gain the basic knowledge of Cyber Security. However we do have dedicated roles to advance that.

If your out in the field then you could be expected to be out there for a week or more but this is down to the unit and the training objectives that the chain of command have put forth to achieve.

Training wise, every soldier/officer do training from Basic Training to your trade training, where you can be out in the field or within camp where your selected capbadge will be.

Your apprenticeship throughout your Army Career is set throughout in normal every day life, After the working day you can have the option to travel home, or every weekend. But this is in everyday life after all your training (Phase 1 and 2).

I hope this helps!

Okay thank you so much for answering my question sir and I will definitely have a look into the army and I wish you the best you are incredible and also another question even if you still do a IT apprenticeship would they teach you about the IT stuff in the army or would you have to do the physical training as well in the apprenticeship

The Army will teach you IT within certain trades that we have. Which you can search through the role finder. This can show you what you would need for an IT role.

physical training wise. You'll be included with that too with all your fellow soldiers.
