What do you like about your job and the company?
I remember seeing coverage of Gulf War I on the television as I was growing up; I remember thinking that I wished I could do something about these things rather than just watching them helplessly unfold on the television. I felt by joining the Army I had a chance to make a difference, and to play a part in the changing of history. I definitely feel the Army has allowed me to do this and still passionately feel that the British Army is a force for good with the potential to make significant changes.
Greatest achievements
I was fortunate enough to complete a year long attachment to the US Army. Initially I was stationed in Seattle, Washington, before deploying to Iraq on Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. On completion of my tour with them I was awarded the Bronze Star for meritorious service in a combat zone.

I loved being a Tank Commander, i worked alongside some of the best people in the Army. That community is why i joined the Royal Tank Regiment. I was surrounded by people who i liked and allowed me to be myself. Although i have changed path in the Army i always have my Regimental family to return to. They form the foundation of my new skillset and taught me lessons that make me successful today.

It's always better to be at the bottom of a ladder you wan't to climb, than half way up one you don't. Okay... I promise I won't do anymore cheesy quotes from now on, but it really is true. I've always thought of this, as you can see from the various jobs I've had, I've always been looking for that one job that ticks every box for things you want out of a career. Don't be persuaded into doing a job you're not set on, just because it may result you getting your start date early. Or if you need a qualification for a particular job. Get that qualification! If it means you getting that career/job role that you really want, then go for it. Don't settle for second best.
