What do you like about your job and the company?

I love travelling the country and telling people about the AGC and my job role and how it isn't what everyone expects it to be. There are so many opportunities to do: Para Course, Commanders Course, Skill at Arms, Drill Instructor, Adventure Training Instructor courses, and a vast range of career based qualifications

Greatest achievements

Whilst being attached to 'The 2nd Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment', I had the opportunity to do the Specialised Infantry Cadre with my Company. I was the only female to pass during that course.

Haribo (or morale-i-bo) will get you through everything. The only thing you can ever prep entirely for is fitness so work hard. Treat everyone how you want to be treated, you never know when you might rely on them whether it be people you go through training with or colleagues and friends you meet along the way- the Army is a small place!

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!
