What do Army Officers do? Simon's story

Lieutenant Taylor brings us along to look at his life, and career, in the British Army; from the moment his alarm goes off, until his head hits the pillow. 

Every morning starts with a chance to hit the gym and a good breakfast before heading into the office.

Next up? Catching up and planning with colleagues.

“Go back to the office, have a meeting with my senior NCOs within my troop, see what is going on with the rest of the soldiers for the rest of that day.”

What’s so good about Wednesdays?

Everyone loves a Wednesday afternoon in the Army. Why? It’s dedicated to sports.

You are getting paid to play sport. Volleyball, football, water sports, fishing – the list goes on and on, and on!

What happens when work finishes for the day?

The same as every other job, you decide what your evening looks like.

Can I practice my faith in the Army?

Absolutely. Lieutenant Taylor discusses how his Christian faith is really important to him, and how joining the Army had no impact on his faith, he feels super supported.
