I left school with decent grades, and was a CNC Programmer before i joined the Army at 25. I could of carried on down the engineering side of things in the Army, but that isn't what I wanted to do. I wanted to join the Royal Artillery and work with the firepower that it offers. If you join the Army in a job role that you don't like or enjoy you will hate it and want to do something else. There are 200 jobs in the Army meaning there is something out there for you. You just need to apply yourself.

What do you like about your job and the company?
My main motivation at the minute is to self the brand of the British Army to potential candidates and people that don't necessarily what the Army has to offer. I can do this by organising more events and getting out into the public domain in more face to face situations. On a personal level its about promotion to Sergeant. Which comes hand in hand with me talking more people into joining the greatest fighting organisation in the world. If i get people to join, that will the result in promotion.

Pass off day is only something a soldier can understand and can describe. Unless you have experienced it yourself you will never understand it. So standing on the parade square with all your mates that you have just spent every second, of everyday with for 14 weeks is an honour. Very few people get to experience that. Being recognised by your peers and senior soldiers, that you are good enough to promote is a massive confidence boost to you as a person and for your career. Marching out in front of your battery, saluting your Battery Commander and receiving your new rank slide is a great honour.

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.

It is important to always remember the Armies Values and Standards, notably the 'CDRILS'. Courage, Discipline, Respect for Others, Integrity, Loyalty and Selfless Commitment. Throughout your career, you will be tested on these things, whether on camp, or on Operations. As soldiers, it is our duty to follow these values, these help make us efficient in all aspects of our jobs.
