30 years apart.
The young lad in DPM camouflage uniform had no idea where the military would eventually take him.
From Army training in the 1990s and 2000s…
To the RAF Regiment in the 2020s…

And now standing outside the Army Training Centre at Pirbright, helping the next generation prepare for their own journey.
Today, I noticed that if you search Google for “ATC Pirbright”, one of the first photos shown is of me standing outside the Home of the British Soldier.
The unofficial face of ATC Pirbright? Probably not. But it did give me a chuckle and made me stop and reflect on just how much the military has shaped the last three decades of my life.
The lessons I learned then still influence everything I do today:
• Discipline
• Leadership
• Teamwork
• Resilience
• Accountability
Through PMF Fitness Solutions and Join The Military, I now have the privilege of helping candidates and potential recruits prepare for the Army Assessment Centre, Phase 1 training, and military life in general.
The reality is that your military journey starts long before you arrive at a training establishment.
Whether you’re preparing for the Army Assessment Centre, looking to improve your fitness, or simply want to arrive at Phase 1 training better prepared and more confident, we’re here to help.
Mistakes? I’ve made a few (as the song goes), I’ve also learned plenty of lessons and picked up a lot of experience along the way.
If that experience can help someone else achieve their goal of serving in the Armed Forces, then that’s time well spent.
If you’re considering a career in the military and have questions about the process, feel free to get in touch.
How can my team and I help you prepare?
Whether it’s your fitness that needs fine-tuning, you need some prep for your visit to the Army Assessment Centre, or want to be ready for your Phase 1 field exercise, we’ve got what you need.
Drop us a message and we’ll be more than happy to chat with you about options.
