Currently studying whilst serving as a reserve infanteer

My first important career move with the army reserve was initially applying and getting through the application process, following this it was the excitement of completing my reserve training modules and then reserve CIC (Combat Infantryman's Course). Following completion of CIC I then attended multiple battalion weekends, a brilliant exercise with 3 Ranger at Corsham Mines learning CQB tactics and I attended a couple of battalion battlefield studies (France and Holland). Finally, my most important career achievement this far is successfully attending and completing the army reserve PJNCO cadre held at ITC Catterick.

I currently study and a reserve Kingsman waiting to promote to Lpcl.

I'm currently studying Ancient History & Archaeology full time at the university of Manchester. I also work part time at my army reserve centre helping with recruitment, whilst attending battalion weekends, exercises and courses. I'm currently a Kingsman waiting to promote to Lance Corporal, as a Kingsman I am rifleman within the company.

Taking part in exercises and working with great people

Working in the army reserve is great, it offers plenty of experiences, skills and knowledge. Also it is great working with people from different backgrounds, different ages and experienced/knowledgable people.

Keep on trying to achieve

Keep on pushing towards your goal and trying to better yourself. Be keen and enthusiastic.
