Will,

An officer will go to the military academy Sandhurst to commission and a guardsmen will go to the infantry training centre in catterick.

As mentioned above, officers take a management role and spend the majority of their day behind a computer. They deal with some tactics on the ground when on operations.

A guardsman will be the boots on the ground doing the cool stuff. The higher you promote through the ranks the more time you’ll spend at a desk in a managerial role as expected.

Search on the army website at both job roles, they are both at total opposite ends of the spectrum
