    I'm going to attempt to summarize as briefly as possible.


    A job of endless opportunities. Almost everyone is capable of succeeding in the Army, as long as they are willing to work hard.

    I was pretty low on confidence when i joined the Army, i wasn't particularly very fit either. What i had was the willingness to give it my all. Some of the many things my career has given me over the years is a winning mentality. This is the overall ability to compete and win with regards to any potential challenge I'm faced with.


    It's certainly been the very making of my and I'm by no means unique. You get out what you put in. Give 100% and you will be rewarded 10 fold in order to better equip you in life both whilst serving and when you subsequently come to leaving the service.
