When going through selection for the Army, it can be very tempting to try and be the person you think they are looking for. That might work in the short term, but in the longer term, or when you are under pressure / tired / in command, that doesn't work. It is far better to be the person you really are, with your own quirks and personality, and to utilise your own skills and abilities. The Army can teach you how to lead and think tactically, it can develop your fitness and your endurance, it can't change how you start out as a person.

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.

As someone that is now out of training, the basic training is such a great experience looking back now. Even though it may seem difficult, just push through and it is all worth it in the end to actually do the job role you joined for.
