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.

Top Insider Advice

I have served 16 years in the Army now. I have lots of experience gained though courses, exercises, operations and life. But, there is always something new. Something I've never done before. A new system, weapon, theory or problem. You can always learn something new, or improve something old. Don't be afraid to ask for help and always seek feed back. But remember feedback will not always be positive.

The best advice i was given while on the train to pirbright was when you get to the station , give your service number in two groups of 4. Try get your Cat B driving licence before you start training, this will just help you move about easier in the early days you will have alot kit, also when you get to Phase 2 and 3 training you will be fast tracked to HGV etc. driving cost money so you will be hanging around waiting for it easier if you do it yourself be proactive. Fitness is a big part of army life so goto the Gym do some sort of basic rountine even if its walking around the block get the pulse rate going, Again it will just make service life so much easier if you fit.
