What do you like about your job and the company?

Being able to help someone through the process of joining the Army, watching the progression and development through the process is rewarding, I enjoy pushing people to try things they wouldn't have normally considered and seeing they can achieve things they didn't think were possible.

Greatest achievements

I doubted myself when I first joined the reserves but it has pushed me to do courses and different roles I wouldn't have picked. It has given me a lot of experience and knowledge I wouldn't have found otherwise.

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.

Been in the Army can sometimes be arduous, fight through it and reap the benefits. Whether it be mental or physical robustness. You will surpass it and shine through the other side!

Once you join the army there will be no other experience like this to compare it to. The training is challenging and it is deliberately designed like that to challenge you. It is definitely possible to complete. You will have the best experience that last a life time.The people you meet in this job becomes your new family members.
