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.

If you believe in yourself you can achieve things you never thought possible.

So the Army is one big team, especially in Basic training you are all in same position but you work together as a team. You will remember those days for the rest of your life and form friendships for life.

Top Insider Advice

The best advice i was given while on the train to pirbright was when you get to the station , give your service number in two groups of 4. Try get your Cat B driving licence before you start training, this will just help you move about easier in the early days you will have alot kit, also when you get to Phase 2 and 3 training you will be fast tracked to HGV etc. driving cost money so you will be hanging around waiting for it easier if you do it yourself be proactive. Fitness is a big part of army life so goto the Gym do some sort of basic rountine even if its walking around the block get the pulse rate going, Again it will just make service life so much easier if you fit.

In my experience the Army isn't looking for one type of stereotyped Officer or Soldier. In fact it is the diversity of our organisation that makes us so effective.
