York

If you’re thinking about joining the Army – that’s your first step to an amazing career. Come in and see us.

We’ll sit you down for a chat with one of our friendly team. We all joined the Army for an action-packed alternative to the sort of lifestyles civilians lead: adventure and excitement, travel and good and pay and pension.

Plus we’ve each achieved promotions and gained qualifications that are recognised by civilian employers. So if you really want to make something of yourself – don’t hesitate to come along.

When you get here
We’ll all be in uniform – but it doesn’t matter what you wear. We’re more interested in who you are than whether you’re in work clothes or jeans.

One of us will take time to find out a bit about your life and your interests. At this stage you won’t know if the Army is the right choice for you. So we’ll simply tell you about the wide variety of jobs you could go for – such as chefs, tank crew, nurses, vehicle mechanics to electricians and so on – and give you a feel for Army life in general.

Ask us anything
Naturally, you’ll want to know about what the training’s like, what your career prospects could be, opportunities for travel, how much you’ll earn… and much more besides. Ask away! That’s what we’re here for.

What happens next?
You’ll have plenty to think about after your first visit, and might want to come back to talk some more. But if you want to go to the next stage, we’ll first 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.
