What do you like about your job and the company?
My current job role gives me a great opportunity to engage with lots of interesting people and to share with them my experiences thought my career. I feel that once I have spoken to them, they go away with a clearer picture of what it means to be in the Army and what life is like for us. This gives me great satisfaction knowing that they too could begin the journey and experience things they never would as a civilian.
Greatest achievements
My first operational tour was my proudest moment. It was the first time I used my soldiering skills and training for real in an extremely challenging environment, this tour opened my eyes to what life is really like for people who don't have much and how important it is for these people to be supported. Whilst on this tour I worked closely with the French military in order to support them, which was challenging as many did not speak English, we had to overcome this language barrier in order to succeed and complete the mission. I will never forget my experiences from this tour and these memories will last a lifetime.

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.

One of the main things that disappoints me is the young man or woman that makes a snap decision to leave training before they have given themselves a real chance. Training is hard, its designed to be hard, so that in difficult situations it allows you to find the strength to succeed.

I think its really important in life to put yourself forward for opportunities for personal development and to help you identify what you enjoy doing. It doesn't matter if you try something and it doesn't work out, the most important thing is that you have tried it. My favourite quote is 'Never try, never know'.
