Research all of the jobs available in the Army. I didn't even know I could be a teacher when I started out and now I am loving my job! There is a role for everyone in this organisation.

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.

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.
