Thanks for explaining how it works at your current location. It's great you've had the opportunity to meet a few of our officers and interesting what you said about them having different insights into your Army. I would think that while there are some differences, our overall outlook is very similar and the ethos is the same across both our Armies. To date, I've only been fortunate to have met one American officer (very briefly) who is here on a UK/US Exchange Officer Program as a senior instructor. He was introduced at a mess function and came across as a pleasant chap who was rather bemused by some of our customs!

I have another two months of special to arm training to complete where I'm currently based and then I'll receive my first formal posting. It's been an interesting and challenging journey since passing out and I'm looking forward to finally putting the training into practice. You take care and best of luck to you too.
