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.

The army is more than what is seen in dramatised film and television. It’s a group of had working individuals who have learnt to be a part of the army, learnt their strengths and weakness, learnt what kind of job and job role suits them best. There is so much opportunity it is impossible to write it all here but information about the army has never been so easily accessible. The wealth of insight that can be gleaned, to help you determine the right career path in the army, is massive and can help you decide. Even if that decision is not to join the army, you won’t know until you have a look.

Research the benefits of being in the Army Reserve, there will be a job with in the Army Reserve that interests you, speak to as many people as possible. Visit the units and get a feeling for the roles and the people that are there. Go with a can do attitude and give all you can as you will get it back in life experience, civilian qualifications and sense of achievement. You will gain life long friends and have some of the most exciting weekends possible. Even if you only do it for a short time, you will have gained something and you can always say you tried it. Remember it's easier to get out of, than to get into. And something not tried, is an opportunity missed.

Personally joining the Army was a great decision. Its given me that stable career everybody wants. The opportunities within the Army are second to none whether it be from gaining qualifications in your chosen field to travelling the world doing various activities. If you give the Army your everything the Army will give you everything. As cliche as it sounds the army really does give you friends for life. You are all equally motivate and go through the same experiences which bonds you more than anything else in life.
