Cpl Hollman, spoke about his career in the Army to date, in particular, his time at AFC Harrogate and offered advice on how to prepare for the ‘first six weeks’.

He also took time to explain the differences in the Ranks between the Household Cavalry and the Rifles and how he got started on YouTube

Detachment Commander SSI Caroline Elsson said: “I’d just like to thank LCpl of Horse Hollman for taking the time to join us and answer the many questions posed to him. It was of particular interest as we have one Cadet about to start at AFC Harrogate in the next few weeks and several others considering it.

She added; "It was really good to hear from someone who had been a Cadet, progressed through the Army Foundation College and on into his current role as well as hearing about his YouTube Channel.”

Cpl Hollman offered to visit the Detachment in the future when face to face training resumes, an offer which the Detachment will certainly take up.
