Catterick Garrison

This role involves leading and instructing recruits in a series of different subjects. Some of these include the values and standards upheld by The British Army, personal administration, map reading, weapons training and tactical soldiering on operations and during training. There is a requirement to write reports on each individual on a weekly basis to enable their progress to be tracked and to provide continuous performance feedback to the recruits. The position involves selecting, mentoring and developing recruits to turn them from inexperienced civilians into elite Parachute Regiment soldiers. The Parachute Regiment generally selects only the top 10% of the performers and so this role selects and develops high performing teams.

During this period I completed my training and the relevant promotional courses to qualify myself up to platoon sergeant. This would allow me to be responsible for the welfare and administration of up to 50 soldiers. I also took part in numerous low level and tri service training exercises in the UK and overseas. I was also responsible to make sure my own company of up to 100 men were up to date with the drills for both Urban Operations and Chemical biological radiological and nuclear warfare. I deployed on 2 operational tours of Afghanistan during this time.
