Top Insider Advice

The army is more than what is seen in dramatised film and television. It’s a group of had working individuals who have learnt to be a part of the army, learnt their strengths and weakness, learnt what kind of job and job role suits them best. There is so much opportunity it is impossible to write it all here but information about the army has never been so easily accessible. The wealth of insight that can be gleaned, to help you determine the right career path in the army, is massive and can help you decide. Even if that decision is not to join the army, you won’t know until you have a look.

Go with a can do attitude and give all you can as you will get it back in life experience, civilian qualifications and sense of achievement.

Remember it's easier to get out of, than to get into. And something not tried, is an opportunity missed.
