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.

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!

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.

Top Insider Advice

The Army provides a whole host of challenges at every level, but it also provides you with the tools to rise to those challenges, and if you so choose, surpass them. The training that the Army provides allows you to find your true and best self, to push yourself and test yourself - work out what you want to achieve, then use your new found skills to achieve even more!
