Summary
From the experience from the army reserve i have realised that there is no place i would rather be than the Royal Army. I have had to grow and adapt to be at the standard that is required to be an effective soldier. I have to work hard both physically and mentally to be at standard and my goals always will be to grow and become better. It is a dream of mine to become a skilled engineer within the Army. I plan to put 100 percent effort into pursuing that dream.
