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.

It is important to always remember the Armies Values and Standards, notably the 'CDRILS'. Courage, Discipline, Respect for Others, Integrity, Loyalty and Selfless Commitment. Throughout your career, you will be tested on these things, whether on camp, or on Operations. As soldiers, it is our duty to follow these values, these help make us efficient in all aspects of our jobs.

When I decided to join the Army. I was a fully qualified Fabricator / Welder. I decided to join the Royal Engineers as this trade. Because I was already qualified, I was able to fast track a large majority of my trade training. With this I was not only able to get to my first unit quicker but I also got a financial bonus. In my career I have held two fabricator / welder related posts, so have had the opportunity to remain current and competent in my trade.
