Im a corporal in the MPGS (AGC) I provide an overt armed and unarmed secuirty service meeting all legal obligations. We are Tri service, you have to have served atleast 3 years has a regular or resvere in any armed service. We use miliary working dogs at 3 sites. Contracts are currently every 3 years, giving 3 months notice if you wish to leave. You can work until you are 60 years old. Before this i was a Pioneer in the Royal Logistic Corps, were i did varoues jobs and roles. I have completed 3 operational tours of Iraq and 3 operational tours of Agfahn. I also am a fully qualified Adult Instuctor with the army cadet force.

I enjoy coming to work even thought we work 12 hour shifts days and nights 4 on 4 off, because of the people i work with, we are all ex miliarty the work ethnic is there and the comadarie is still there, we can all talk openly about previous experience with no come backs. Most inportantly because I do this role it allows the unit to deploy and react to any given threat home or aboard, and allows the field army to deploy with more troops as they are not being held back doing security duties on site. I have always enjoyed army life the last few years everything that we used to complain about as improved massively, we get well paid well above the national avarage. the food is all pay as you dine so like going to a restaurant. The Accomandation once in unit is all single person rooms on suit bathroom to a good standard.

The best advice i was given while on the train to pirbright was when you get to the station , give your service number in two groups of 4. Try get your Cat B driving licence before you start training, this will just help you move about easier in the early days you will have alot kit, also when you get to Phase 2 and 3 training you will be fast tracked to HGV etc. driving cost money so you will be hanging around waiting for it easier if you do it yourself be proactive. Fitness is a big part of army life so goto the Gym do some sort of basic rountine even if its walking around the block get the pulse rate going, Again it will just make service life so much easier if you fit.

I was a member of the trails team that setup the Bath and Laudary det the new equipment helping to design and squaddie sproof the cheap plastic that was being used. each new unit cost half million pounds each. This role i did as a Pioneer while posted to 9 Regt RLC. Passing Infantry Training Centre Catterick this was very hard physical course again this role i did as a Pioneer one of the last to go through Catterick. One of the career highlights is receiving my LSGC Long Service Good Conduct medal for 15 years service.
