What do you like about your job and the company?
Every person I interact with in my role is a self motivated, trustworthy and reliable person. They are from across a wide array of backgrounds within the UK and worldwide. We all have a common goal to set high standards and be successful. Due to our role being highly demanding and in a high risk environment, I am motivated to perform to my highest ability as the people I work with always perform to the highest of their ability. As an STA Patrol Commander I am motivated to perform to the best of my ability for my peers and colleagues as we all rely on each other. This work ethic means I continually push myself and the team constantly push each other to develop in both their professional and personal life.

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?"
