Frequently asked questions

Will I have to pay for anything if I attend an event?

The food will be from the same catering facilities that soldiers use to eat their meals, where nearly all dietary requirements can be catered for. There will be the chance to eat the rations we use when on training exercises or deployed, which again can cater for special dietary requirements.

What if I start the event, but can no longer complete the full four-day package?

There is no commitment to join The Army with this event. If you decide to leave at any time, you can do so.
