THE ARMY needs you!

A £150,000 recruitment campaign has been launched to target Huddersfield people who want a new challenge.

A poster campaign with the words ‘Change Your Direction’ will appear on buses throughout the town.

It highlights opportunities available in the Regular and Territorial Army.

Despite the controversy of current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army say more people are signing up to serve in the British forces.

Colonel John May said: “What people need to realise is that while the Army is engaged in challenging situations, the professionalism and skill of all come to the fore, as do opportunities to shine.

“The new campaign will take a direct approach and encourage people to ackn- owledge that they have power to change their own direction if they feel dissatisfied with their current career opportunities and want a fresh challenge.”

With more than 140 trades in the Army – from combat and engineering to IT and communications – there is something to interest everyone.
