I take great pride in my work because of the responsibility it brings. If soldiers didn’t have things like ammunition, rations, vehicle spares and body armour, they wouldn’t be able to do their jobs. We help to keep the Army running.

This is the rank most soldiers start out at. You still get all the benefits of Army life, like a good rate of basic pay, free healthcare and subsidised food and accommodation. You’re not in charge of anyone, so you can focus on using your skills. Every promotion after this gets you extra pay.
Now you’ve got some experience, you take on some responsibilities by leading a small team of soldiers. It’s your job to check that they’re getting their work done to the right standard, and that they’ve got the skills and help they need. If they’ve got a problem, they talk to you first.
You’ve got day-to-day leadership experience. The next step is to go on a special course to develop your leadership and management skills, which prepares you to lead an even larger team. You still use your own trade skills, but you’ll also set tasks and help develop the other soldiers’ skills.
