The feeling of helping someone get into their dream job is always an amazing feeling, especially when they have been trying to join for a couple of years. With every push back this young lady had, she never gave up on her dream, but also never gave up on me as a recruiter and because of that I was able to make it happen for her. She is now serving in the RA, currently deployed and is loving her Army career.

Learning to live within the values of the British Army is the best way to live for opportunities and self-improvement. Courage - have the courage to take opportunities, and volunteer for things that others won’t. Discipline - don’t be easily led, and always do the right thing - even if there is nobody watching. Respect - respect is often hard to earn and easy to lose; treat others the way you want to be treated and don’t forget to respect yourself. Integrity - be honest with yourself and others: you’ll learn faster and better for it. Loyalty - be loyal to your values and don’t fall into following the wrong crowd. Be loyal to your friends and family. And, most importantly, be loyal to yourself and what you want to achieve. Selfless Commitment - do things with conviction, work hard, and offer yourself up to always being there for people when you can. Following these values will give you the best chance to achieve anything you want in the Army - whether that's a promotion, time away doing sports, or making friends. All your winnings and failings will come back to asking yourself, "Did you stick to the CDRILS?"

The army has countless opportunities for everyone , take as many as you can- whether that's professional development for your trade or working towards instructor qualifications for adventurous training, the list is endless. Enjoy as much of your career as possible and have a laugh with your friends around you. That way when you do decide to leave the army, you know you've had the best time possible.

There will be opportunities that come your way, which at first may not sound great, however, if you volunteer for those you will be rewarded. I volunteered to go to Kosovo for 6 weeks, in return I was picked to go skiing for a week in Italy, all paid for by the Army. I loved both experiences and have never regretted that decision.
