Re: Driver communication specialist.

Hello and thank you for the opportunity to ask about things and introduce myself. The above job role on the website is currently a priority role. Which apart from A combat role is something I’d like to learn more about here. Currently I am working on my fitness in an effort to join Infantry with Mercian regiment. Thank you

    Hi Imran I'm a communication specialist, we aren't a combat role we are part of the logistical chain, so we are an essential asset to ensure communications is maintained at all times with the troops on the ground and the officers, this can be either through voice or digital.

    Hi there thank you, that is very clarifying. One of my biggest concerns is my history, I’m a care leaver and wanted to join around 18 but I didn’t go through with it.. since then I’ve been in and out of trouble but nothing serious and no drugs.

At the moment I’m training like a machine and I estimate12 weeks of more training before I start the application

    Just put everything down on your application form for the Recruitment Group as they will be the one's going through it. Be honest and put it all down. It's great to hear you wnat to have a full career and hopefully you do. Also it's wonderful to see such a big improvement, well done

    Thank you it’s helps, over the past few months alone I’ve gained about 5 diplomas in fields I was interested in or wanted to learn about. I’m taking this time to prepare my self as I was also a smoker for years.
    Thanks for the advice really helps.
