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!

What do you like about your job and the company?

As with lots of Army jobs you learn as you work. I love the challenge and variety of my job - every day is different! As an Army teacher, each lesson despite teaching in 10x would always be different due to the different class of soldiers and how they interacted with each other and me. I got to manage civil servants who were older than my parents which had its own challenges but who I learnt so much from. As a Regt Admin officer everyday was a different question about finance, unit support, managing my soldiers generally or even organising a massive party for 300 people.

Greatest achievements

During 2.5yrs as a Regt Admin Officer, all my eligible soldiers were promoted. I had an amazing bunch of soldiers and they all worked hard and utterly deserved it.
