What role you’d like in the armed forces: Vehicle Mechanic or Recovery Mechanic

When I first signed up to become Forces Prep I was struggling to find an apprenticeship in civvie street, I knew I’d like to join the forces but wasn’t sure about heading straight in. Forces Prep has helped me get fitter and gain more confidence, you even get taught how to march and stand on parade! Being here isn’t like a normal college, for starters we’re in a barracks and on a daily basis we’re completing our qualifications yet still taking part in sporting activities and team tasks. 

The best bit is doing the physical and team tasks with my friends, knowing they’ve got my back and we keep pushing each other to be the best we can be! From September to now, I’ve built up my teamwork and leadership skills, Forces Prep is one of the best armed forces preparation colleges I’ve heard of! 

Forces Prep in three words? Fun, informative and supportive!

Round up the Troops // Jade Baynes

Name: Jade Baynes
Age: 16
Where you’re from: Hull
When you signed up to Forces Prep: 04.08.15
What role you’d like in the armed forces: Weapons Technician - Navy

Signing up to Forces Prep has helped me to prepare myself for the Navy. It’s given me the knowledge I need for my job role, and even myself! I’ve been able to push myself beyond limits with the activities we do each day, from drills, to team tasks, to physical activities. I’ve even enjoyed learning about the armed forces, it’s not your typical sitting behind a desk all day like college, it’s actually fun! 

From August to now, I’ve gained my NCFE Level 1 Diploma in Uniformed Services, completed my First Aid training, and I’m pretty confident with my map reading and drill. Even though the whole course is fun, the one thing I enjoy the most is being around people who want to do the same as me, they encourage me when it’s getting tough. Really motivating me to push further and achieve my goal of being a Navy, Weapons Technician. 

Forces Prep in three words? Challenging, fun and adventurous!
