Career path

About Holly J.

Main motivation

I love travelling the country and telling people about the AGC and my job role and how it isn't what everyone expects it to be. There are so many opportunities to do: Para Course, Commanders Course, Skill at Arms, Drill Instructor, Adventure Training Instructor courses, and a vast range of career based qualifications

Greatest achievement
Whilst being attached to 'The 2nd Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment', I had the opportunity to do the Specialised Infantry Cadre with my Company. I was the only female to pass during that course.
