Army Life




Getting the most out of life is about getting the right balance, and that's what the Army provides. We'll invest time in your training, give you the space you need for your family and friends, and provide plenty of opportunities for you to learn new skills and broaden your horizons.
Making the leap from a civilian life to a military one can seem daunting at first. But in this section you'll get to meet people just like you - people who've taken the step and never looked back. You'll learn that although a role in the Army will never be easy, it is a role which, in making the hardest demands of you, will offer you true life fulfilment.

Daily Life
Army life is always full of challenges and no two days will ever be the same. And while that means your day-to-day will involve plenty of on-the-go, you'll find there are plenty of opportunities to relax and unwind both inside and outside the Army. Throughout your training and career we will always look after you, taking care of your basic needs like food and accommodation, so that you've got the time and energy to focus on being the best soldier you can be.
The world is a very big place. With the Army, you will get to see a lot of it. You might be on adventurous training in the Belize jungle or the Canadian Rockies. You could be part of a peacekeeping mission in the Middle East or delivering humanitarian aid in Africa. When you're posted or deployed abroad, you get to see countries from a unique viewpoint. And you experience different cultures in a way that backpackers never do.
It's a big world out thereThe British Army has a presence in many different countries. Whether you're on adventurous training in the jungle, keeping the peace in a war-torn country or in combat, you'll see a world few can ever imagine.
As well as travelling, Army life involves working alongside people from different backgrounds and nationalities. When soldiers are not on active duty, they have the chance to explore their new surroundings and interact with people from different nationalities and cultures.
There are also opportunities to work with soldiers from other armies, for example when the Army performs peacekeeping duties as part of a United Nations (UN) force. As well as making new friends, you'll have plenty of time to see old mates too. When you are not committed to training or on operations, you will work regular Army hours of 8am to 5pm, plus you will get weekends off. So there's no danger of losing touch with your existing family of friends.
