An in-depth account, of an average recruit’s experience, progressing through Basic Training in the British Army.
This book is ideal for anyone looking to join the British Army or anyone who wants to know what it takes to “Be the Best”. It gives valuable insight and incredible details of the challenges, adventure and lifestyle, of a modern-day soldier within the British Army.
Rifleman Woods joined the Army in 2014 and began training at ITC Catterick, to develop the skills necessary to join The Rifles Regiment. The story dives straight in with Day 1, Week 1 and follows his progression, all the way through to The Pass Out Parade.
I found myself reading this book extremely quickly purely because it was so fascinating. Woods goes into great detail about his experience in British army basic training and gives the reader a fantastic incite.
