"The Army provides a whole host of challenges at every level, but it also provides you with the tools to rise to those challenges, and if you so choose, surpass them. The training that the Army provides allows you to find your true and best self, to push yourself and test yourself - work out what you want to achieve, then use your new found skills to achieve even more!"

Career path

About Katie -.

Main motivation

I remember seeing coverage of Gulf War I on the television as I was growing up; I remember thinking that I wished I could do something about these things rather than just watching them helplessly unfold on the television. I felt by joining the Army I had a chance to make a difference, and to play a part in the changing of history. I definitely feel the Army has allowed me to do this and still passionately feel that the British Army is a force for good with the potential to make significant changes.

Greatest achievement
I was fortunate enough to complete a year long attachment to the US Army. Initially I was stationed in Seattle, Washington, before deploying to Iraq on Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. On completion of my tour with them I was awarded the Bronze Star for meritorious service in a combat zone.
