What do you like about your job and the company?
The Army has been a job like no other; and I had quite a few before I finally decided to join up! For me, it is the amount of time, money and energy that is dedicated to making its people better than makes the Army a stand out employer. I have been able to gain both teaching and masters degrees, become a mountain bike and kayaking instructor and travel the world. At each and every stage of my career I have found myself doing things I never thought I would, and never could have done without the Army.
Some highlights for me have been; working on the London Olympics; serving with the UN and parachuting in Cyprus; skiing in Austria; teaching photography in Chad and social media skills in Nigeria; battlefield studies to France, Spain and Bosnia; playing American football for the Army team; visiting markets in Iraq and being able to support my family throughout it all.
Greatest achievements
I think one of my most memorable achievements is still commissioning from Sandhurst. Basic training is difficult, no matter what route you take, so passing out is always a really special moment and I think it sticks with everyone as one of their proudest.

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.
