What do you like about your job and the company?
My story line of my Army service. My service turned me from a shy, nervous kid from a care background in to a confident, positive man. The Army challenges you to be the best you can and pushes you to constantly deliver to very high standards. The values and standards you abide to will make you stand out in the crowd wherever you are.

I am now in my 40th year of service, albeit I had a break along the way. I came back to the Army as I needed to feel that trust, sense of belonging that I felt all those years ago when I first set of on my journey. Being back in uniform has given me the opportunity to inform and inspire others to join and experience the life that has given me so much.

I mean this in two different ways, the first is your mindset and the way you talk to yourself. If you wake up everyday with belief you can do anything, you absolutely can. The way you think is the strongest motivation you can give yourself. If a task is hard and you are struggling tell yourself you can and you will. Secondly is your physical strength, the British Army does have a fitness standard we expect candidates to achieve however they are not impossible for anyone. Again, put your mind to it and you can achieve it!

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.
