What do you like about your job and the company?

In my current position, I love supporting Headquarters, as this allows me to use my skills and knowledge that I have built up after a few years in this job. This also gives me the opportunity to help teach newer soldiers on our process and procedures, as well as different types of kit we might use. With the Corps Engagement Team, I like how independent the team is, and how well we help plan and run different events.

Greatest achievements

In 2022, I was given the opportunity to represent my Regiment, Corps and the Army on the international sports stage. I was part of the flag team during the medal ceremonies at Alexander Stadium, I am immensely proud of this as it was my first time away from my home unit, and it allowed me to develop into a better soldier, being able to work in a small team of people I had only just met.

Top Insider Advice

One of the main things that disappoints me is the young man or woman that makes a snap decision to leave training before they have given themselves a real chance. Training is hard, its designed to be hard, so that in difficult situations it allows you to find the strength to succeed.

As someone that is now out of training, the basic training is such a great experience looking back now. Even though it may seem difficult, just push through and it is all worth it in the end to actually do the job role you joined for.
