What a joy<br />
for DLOY<br />
D (DLOY) Sqn RMLY has a new Recruit. Jade<br />
Doherty, 18, from Winstanley, Wigan is<br />
pictured celebrating with her parents Lynn<br />
and David after successfully passing her basic<br />
training course at the Army Training Centre,<br />
Pirbright.<br />
Jade wanted to seek new challenges and<br />
joined D Sqn RMLY in January 2009. She<br />
was impressed with what the TA had to offer<br />
in as far as developing her skills, meeting<br />
new friends and gaining experience in a wide<br />
range of areas not normally found in normal<br />
day to day life. She said “I really enjoyed my<br />
course at Pirbright although it was arduous at<br />
times. I met many new friends who I still<br />
D Sqn RMLY are based in Wigan. For more<br />
information contact Capt Jimmy Aspinall on<br />
01942 248882. Or for more information about<br />
joining the Territorial Army go to<br />
http://www.armyjobs.mod.uk<br />
keep in contact with today and would<br />
encourage anyone considering a TA career to<br />
contact their local TA centre. I absolutely love<br />
it and have learned so much in such a short<br />
period of time”.<br />
Jade wants to travel to different countries<br />
and knows that opportunities exist for her to<br />
do so in the TA. She has just started her sports<br />
and exercise science degree at Edge Hill<br />
University and knows her time will come.<br />
Jade is following the path of a Combat<br />
Medical Technician (CMT) with D Squadron<br />
and is due to attend a CMT 3 training course<br />
soon.<br />
