Bridgend

Don’t feel nervous about coming in to see us. We’ve all had to take that first step, so we know how it feels and we’ll soon put you at ease.

We’ve got soldiers from a range of Army backgrounds and they’ve all got great stories to tell you about Army life. Besides the excitement and adventure of training and deployments around the world, we’ve all picked up qualifications and promotions along the way too.

So for some firsthand advice about what the Army could have in store for you – don’t hesitate to come along.

When you get here
We’ll be in our uniforms, but we don’t mind if you turn up in jeans or your overalls. We just want to find out a bit about you and share our experience – so one of the team will sit down with you and talk about you and the things you enjoy doing. To help you find out if a career in the Army is right for you, we’ll give you an idea of all the jobs you might want to look at – anything from chefs to tank crew, nurses to vehicle mechanics, electricians and much more. You’ll leave with a much better idea about Army life.

Ask us anything
You’ll probably want to ask about fitness and training, career prospects, operations, what you’ll get paid, where you’ll live… and much more. Whatever it is, we’re here to answer all these questions and more.

What happens next?
You may want to think things over after your first visit – and maybe pop back for another chat. Then, if you want to take it further, we’ll weigh and measure you to check your Body Mass Index (BMI). Then arrange a formal interview for you and give you an Army Contact form, an Army DVD and your application pack to take away. We can also arrange your British Army Recruitment Battery (BARB) test.
