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.

Do your research as there are so many jobs in the army. I would also advise candidates to get on top of their fitness - as the fitter you are the easier basic training will be.

Research all of the jobs available in the Army. I didn't even know I could be a teacher when I started out and now I am loving my job! There is a role for everyone in this organisation.
