When I first applied for the Army I knew I could better my qualifications and travel around the world, but never knew I could gain so much more, for example I would have never of said in 10 years time I want to be a skiing instructor, but the Army has given me that experience and helped me work towards it.

What do you like about your job and the company?
Working for the Army has gave me more confidence, qualifications and experiences I most defiantly wouldn't of gained from working in a warehouse. With my job I have travelled all over the UK, and other countries such as, Belgium, Falklands, America, Africa, Norway, Oman, France. I have also done mountain walking, skiing, caving, rock climbing, mountain biking and Kayaking with the Army for Adventure training.
Greatest achievements
Promotion in the Army. When you start to promote in the Army its not just about earning more money or having rank over other people its what you do as a leader, I most enjoy helping others to develop themselves to become a better leader for when they promote. If you help someone who then promotes its a great feeling.

I honestly believe it's worth at least trying life in the Army. If you don't like it, you can leave with a story to tell, and you'll have gained some life skills. If you do like it, you'll have a rewarding career that you can be proud of, you'll grow in confidence, find mates for life, and see the world. The army application process is quite unique and it’s an experience in itself. Even if you're unsuccessful you'll have that story to tell and you'll definitely have learned something about yourself. Also, most times, just because you've been unsuccessful doesn't mean you can't try again.

In my experience the Army isn't looking for one type of stereotyped Officer or Soldier. In fact it is the diversity of our organisation that makes us so effective.
