Here is what a previous Junior Solider said:

“In March 2020, I enlisted in The British Army and successfully completed the long course at the Army Foundation College Harrogate. This training provided me with a solid foundation for my future career as a soldier in The British Army. Throughout my time at the college, I formed lifelong friendships and created unforgettable memories. Despite the occasional challenges, the experience instilled a sense of accomplishment and enhanced my mental resilience and other qualities that will benefit me throughout my career. I cherished my time at Harrogate and aspire to return there as an instructor in the future”
