I loved being a Tank Commander, i worked alongside some of the best people in the Army. That community is why i joined the Royal Tank Regiment. I was surrounded by people who i liked and allowed me to be myself. Although i have changed path in the Army i always have my Regimental family to return to. They form the foundation of my new skillset and taught me lessons that make me successful today.

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.
