What do you like about your job and the company?
I get to travel around the UK an see new places. One week i could be all the way up in northern Scotland delivering presentations and other engagement activities and the next week i could be at Wembley stadium engaging and talking with people to promote the Royal Engineer. Because of the nature of my current role i get to chat with potential and future soldier all around the country. I go to many major events like fairs and festivals that is being held and i have the chance to promote the Corp to all that is interested to know more.
Greatest achievements
Based on the work i did in Estonia on operations. I was running numerous troop training, organising battle group training for Bulldog drivers and commander courses. I was presented a BG Commanders coin in recognition for the work i produced.

Do your research as there are so many jobs in the army. I would also advise candidates to get on top of their fitness - as the fitter you are the easier basic training will be.

I talk to many older people who know I'm in the Army who then say "I wish I joined" or "I was going to join but never". This is conversation as they are sat in the pub on a Sunday afternoon which is about as far from home as they ever go and as exciting as their life ever gets. While you can and are able to give it a go and if it works out fantastic, if not you know you gave it a try and move onto something else. No one will ever say anything negative to you for giving it your best and having the drive to better yourself and join the Army. I've seen parents of soldiers crying bursting with pride watching their son or daughter at the pass off parade all soldiers take part in at the end of their initial training. Some of these parents were against them joining only a few months prior.
