    Hi Jack,


    VM's have exceptional opportunities. Travel/deployments, ability to be integrated into any unit within the Army, anywhere in the world. Where there are Soldiers, there are VM's.


    They gain qualifications to become not only British Soldiers but also top of their trade as a vehicle mechanic (This also gains you a civilian equivalent). Able to be part for a sports team, access to heavily subsidised housing to name a few.


    In short, if you have an interest in becoming a VM, travel the world with your friends, want to better yourself, make a difference and unlock your full potential then look no further.
