Armed Forces Career Day

Picture
On the 5th January 2017, we had a visit from the Armed Forces Career Office, they came in to talk to the students about life, roles with in the army, and the importance of what they could do if they could do if they joined. Throughout the visit the students became engrossed, asking questions and taking a genuine interest, with one or two of them saying they are interested in joining the armed forces.

After being told that they would have a lot of opportunities in the forces ranging from achieving a HGV driving license at 17, to acquiring NVQ’s, the students started asking about roles that they could apply for. The Corporal informed them that they could become anything from a HGV driver to a tank driver or an infantry man to a pilot. The role that seemed to captivate them the most was to be a sniper.      

Near the end of the visit the corporal told the students how the armed forces are now accepting women into service, capturing a student’s interest, saying she would enjoy it, but “dislikes taking orders.”
At the end of the visit the corporal left behind some leaflets for the students to have a look at, in case they were interested in joining.
