Career path

Vehicle Mechanic

British army

Started 03/2021 to Present

Company

What do you like about your job and the company?

Before joining the Army I had never left the UK, since I have joined i have been to 5 different countries learning new things and gaining experiences I thought I'd never be able to have, from gaining more experience in the trade to taking on adventurous training, the British Army has lots to offer.

Greatest achievements

Getting through the first 2 phases of the Army is the greatest achievement I've had so far as once I completed it it opened up my career in the army and now I am traveling all over, going on deployment, going on adventure training and seizing every opportunity I can.

As someone that is now out of training, the basic training is such a great experience looking back now. Even though it may seem difficult, just push through and it is all worth it in the end to actually do the job role you joined for.

In my experience the Army isn't looking for one type of stereotyped Officer or Soldier. In fact it is the diversity of our organisation that makes us so effective.

Top Insider Advice

When going through selection for the Army, it can be very tempting to try and be the person you think they are looking for. That might work in the short term, but in the longer term, or when you are under pressure / tired / in command, that doesn't work. It is far better to be the person you really are, with your own quirks and personality, and to utilise your own skills and abilities. The Army can teach you how to lead and think tactically, it can develop your fitness and your endurance, it can't change how you start out as a person.
