Your journey towards becoming an RLC Driver Communications Specialist is a chance to make a meaningful impact and contribute to the defence of your country. With determination, preparation, and a passion for service, you can embark on this path with confidence, knowing that your efforts will shape the Army's logistics and support its vital missions. As you progress through your career you will gain a wealth of experience and knowledge, focus on what you're passionate about and you'll find so many different opportunities opening up to you, whether that is progressing through your trade qualifications, learning and competing in a new sport or coaching, mentoring and teaching colleagues you will find an area you're strong in and develop a rewarding career.

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.

I honestly believe it's worth at least trying life in the Army. If you don't like it, you can leave with a story to tell, and you'll have gained some life skills. If you do like it, you'll have a rewarding career that you can be proud of, you'll grow in confidence, find mates for life, and see the world. The army application process is quite unique and it’s an experience in itself. Even if you're unsuccessful you'll have that story to tell and you'll definitely have learned something about yourself. Also, most times, just because you've been unsuccessful doesn't mean you can't try again.
