I'm trying to write a personal statement about what I've achieved at Sandhurst, why I'm suitable for the Royal Artillery and why they should take on a dapper chap such as myself. I don't want it to be boring as hell like most of them.
confused
Any suggestions?

When I wrote my personal statement for uni i tried SO hard to make sure that i never used the word "i" (apparently it's frowned upon) - it's tricky, but it does sound more formal when you avoid it.
good luck!

As a member of Arrse.com, i'd not post it there as you'd be surprised just how easy it is to work out whos who there, no doubt half the regt you are writing to, and half the training staff aswell will be members! hehe

Id also not bother with the letter, instead send a lovely one to the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. wink

Easily done, just enclose a copy of your subscription to "country life", and a picture of your favourite polo outfit, and they'll snap you up!!

In seriousness, I'd try to focus on the the level you feel you have developed during training, focusing in particular along the lines of how you enjoyed facing fresh challenges, and, no offence here, by the way- play on your age, too. from my assessments of subbies arriving at my regt, id imagine your one of the older men there, so use it to your advantage- life experience prior to joining, level of maturity, that kind of thing. Basically, make it hard for them to think of a reason to NOT take you.

Wish you luck with it mate, all the best.
