What do you like about your job and the company?
Working in the British Army is a truly unique and rewarding experience. It offers a structured yet dynamic environment where no two days are the same. Whether you're on operations, training exercises, or supporting your unit in camp, you're constantly developing new skills, facing challenges, and growing as both a soldier and an individual. The Army fosters a strong sense of camaraderie, discipline, and pride in service that’s hard to find elsewhere.
What sets the British Army apart from other organisations is its unwavering commitment to its people. From world-class training and career development to comprehensive support for soldiers and their families, the Army invests heavily in your future. It’s not just a job — it’s a lifestyle that builds resilience, leadership, and a sense of purpose. For those who are driven, adaptable, and ready to serve something greater than themselves, the British Army offers a career like no other.

One of the biggest pieces of advice I can give somebody who has an interest in joining the military is to simply be yourself. One of key values of the military is integrity, so as long as you're honest with yourself and being true to who you are, you can't go too wrong. Those who try to be somebody they're not always get found out, and false appearances can only be kept up for so long. I would also say work hard. If you continue to push yourself and push what you think are your limitations, you'll find yourself pleasantly surprised. Those who work hard in the military are very often rewarded and go on to have the more fulfilling, exciting career with an abundance of opportunities. Those who shy away from work or are lazy will again get found out very quickly and have less opportunities available.

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.
