From the Field
"Having served in the Regular Army as an Infanteer, I found that I still had a desire to continuing serving in the Army. I decided that I wanted a more technically challenging role, which is why I decided to become a Movement Operator. Since joining the Army Reserve, I have progressed through my trade training and become part of the Regimental Recruiting Team. I've had the opportunity to become part of the Regimental Training Team too. Fun and rewarding, my Reserve career has offered everything I had hoped for - it was undoubtedly the right choice."
