The army has countless opportunities for everyone , take as many as you can- whether that's professional development for your trade or working towards instructor qualifications for adventurous training, the list is endless. Enjoy as much of your career as possible and have a laugh with your friends around you. That way when you do decide to leave the army, you know you've had the best time possible.

When I decided to join the Army. I was a fully qualified Fabricator / Welder. I decided to join the Royal Engineers as this trade. Because I was already qualified, I was able to fast track a large majority of my trade training. With this I was not only able to get to my first unit quicker but I also got a financial bonus. In my career I have held two fabricator / welder related posts, so have had the opportunity to remain current and competent in my trade.

Keep on pushing towards your goal and trying to better yourself. Be keen and enthusiastic.
