What do you like about your job and the company?
One of the main reasons I wanted to join the army was to be able to travel the world whist getting paid to play. I have performed abroad in places like Ukraine or Germany, as well as all over the UK. However, I haven't just travelled as a musician, I've also been away to complete adventurous training- anything from surfing in Cornwall to scuba-diving in Malta.
Greatest achievements
I pull for the Army Ladies Tug of War team and last year(2023) we were awarded the Army Sports Team of the Year award. This automatically puts us as the Army's nomination for the UK Armed Forces Team of the Year which we also won. This goes to show, that the mental resilience and discipline we get taught as soldiers can be used in all walks of life.

As a musician, you can always develop. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, you can always grow as a player and a performer.

I left school with decent grades, and was a CNC Programmer before i joined the Army at 25. I could of carried on down the engineering side of things in the Army, but that isn't what I wanted to do. I wanted to join the Royal Artillery and work with the firepower that it offers. If you join the Army in a job role that you don't like or enjoy you will hate it and want to do something else. There are 200 jobs in the Army meaning there is something out there for you. You just need to apply yourself.
