Career path

About Connor T.

Main motivation

My current job role gives me a great opportunity to engage with lots of interesting people and to share with them my experiences thought my career. I feel that once I have spoken to them, they go away with a clearer picture of what it means to be in the Army and what life is like for us. This gives me great satisfaction knowing that they too could begin the journey and experience things they never would as a civilian.

Greatest achievement
My first operational tour was my proudest moment. It was the first time I used my soldiering skills and training for real in an extremely challenging environment, this tour opened my eyes to what life is really like for people who don't have much and how important it is for these people to be supported. Whilst on this tour I worked closely with the French military in order to support them, which was challenging as many did not speak English, we had to overcome this language barrier in order to succeed and complete the mission. I will never forget my experiences from this tour and these memories will last a lifetime.
