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.

Someone once told me to never give up on something I was passionate about, but to find a way of making it happen. No matter how long it takes or how many push backs you get, if you are passionate about something, aim to succeed.

Top Insider Advice

The best advice i was given while on the train to pirbright was when you get to the station , give your service number in two groups of 4. Try get your Cat B driving licence before you start training, this will just help you move about easier in the early days you will have alot kit, also when you get to Phase 2 and 3 training you will be fast tracked to HGV etc. driving cost money so you will be hanging around waiting for it easier if you do it yourself be proactive. Fitness is a big part of army life so goto the Gym do some sort of basic rountine even if its walking around the block get the pulse rate going, Again it will just make service life so much easier if you fit.
