There will be opportunities that come your way, which at first may not sound great, however, if you volunteer for those you will be rewarded. I volunteered to go to Kosovo for 6 weeks, in return I was picked to go skiing for a week in Italy, all paid for by the Army. I loved both experiences and have never regretted that decision.

One of the main reasons I wanted to join the Army was to be able to travel the world whist getting paid to do so. I have travelled to a number of countries that I would never have been to without the Army, from Belgium to Oman, to Kosovo and Italy. I’ve also managed to go away and Ski, Snorkel, Rock climb and Kayak.

Only an individual who has completed the 14 weeks of training can understand what standing on a parade square, feels like. You are stood on a square with people you didn’t know 14 weeks ago, who you have spent every second, of everyday with, who are now your mates, in front of your family and friends.

Learning to live within the values of the British Army is the best way to live for opportunities and self-improvement. Courage - have the courage to take opportunities, and volunteer for things that others won’t. Discipline - don’t be easily led, and always do the right thing - even if there is nobody watching. Respect - respect is often hard to earn and easy to lose; treat others the way you want to be treated and don’t forget to respect yourself. Integrity - be honest with yourself and others: you’ll learn faster and better for it. Loyalty - be loyal to your values and don’t fall into following the wrong crowd. Be loyal to your friends and family. And, most importantly, be loyal to yourself and what you want to achieve. Selfless Commitment - do things with conviction, work hard, and offer yourself up to always being there for people when you can. Following these values will give you the best chance to achieve anything you want in the Army - whether that's a promotion, time away doing sports, or making friends. All your winnings and failings will come back to asking yourself, "Did you stick to the CDRILS?"

The army is more than what is seen in dramatised film and television. It’s a group of had working individuals who have learnt to be a part of the army, learnt their strengths and weakness, learnt what kind of job and job role suits them best. There is so much opportunity it is impossible to write it all here but information about the army has never been so easily accessible. The wealth of insight that can be gleaned, to help you determine the right career path in the army, is massive and can help you decide. Even if that decision is not to join the army, you won’t know until you have a look.
