What do you think about BFRS and the services we provide?

The services provided seem like a welcome and helpful system to enable a good quality of life beyond regular service.

Tell us how you feel about your own resettlement/transition experience?

As a Reservist, it is a pleasure and honour to serve my country whilst also carrying out a civilian career.

What advice would you give to the Armed Force Community about their transition journey?

As a reservist this was never a direct concern for me, but a good friend is completing the resettlement/transition journey now, and the best advice I have learnt from them is to ensure you explore and develop your military skills and apply them for future civilian employers.

The Army prepares you in an abstract way for a very specific role, but you have the best foundation for planning, organisation and management roles and you should take no shame in expressing your own worth!
