I mean this in two different ways, the first is your mindset and the way you talk to yourself. If you wake up everyday with belief you can do anything, you absolutely can. The way you think is the strongest motivation you can give yourself. If a task is hard and you are struggling tell yourself you can and you will. Secondly is your physical strength, the British Army does have a fitness standard we expect candidates to achieve however they are not impossible for anyone. Again, put your mind to it and you can achieve it!

What do you like about your job and the company?
The main reason I love being a Combat Medic is the opportunities that are open to me. As we are needed in most situations, the experiences that are available to us are endless. It is not a normal 9-5 job, every single day is different and exciting. Being a combat medic is also an extremely rewarding job role where you will get a lot of satisfaction from different situations you may be involved in. You will also work with a wide variety of people from across the world, which is a great way to build confidence and learn more about different cultures.
Greatest achievements
As a Combat Medical Technician I was tasked to work alongside the NHS to provide support in hospitals across the UK. This was a moment in my career I was most proud of because I gained a lot of experience and knowledge from this task. It was a very rewarding job as the feedback from patients and staff were always positive about the work we were doing. It was also very interesting to work alongside the fantastic nurses and doctors we have working for the NHS.

Throughout selection and training things will not always go your way, it is designed to be tough and challenge you to give you the tools and know how to succeed in the challenging job as a soldier. It is vitally important that when you have a tough day you have the drive and determination to get up go again and get better. Anyone can do this as long as you give yourself the right mindset.

Someone once told me to never give up on something I was passionate about, but to find a way of making it happen. No matter how long it takes or how many push backs you get, if you are passionate about something, aim to succeed.

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.
