NEW Army recruits have taken their oaths of allegiance to begin gruelling training.
Emily Scott, Jordan Hobbins, Michael Flatters and Jordan Leslie received the official certificate at the Army Recruitment Office, in Freeman Street, Grimsby.
Emily, 19, of New Waltham, will begin her training as a nurse at the end of this month.
She said: "I will start with 14 weeks of basic training and I'm really looking forward to being in the field and testing my skills.
"I will then go to the University of Birmingham for three years to train. It's great because I am guaranteed a job at the end.
"I am really excited and a little bit nervous. I'm really looking forward to working as a team and to live with fiends at university."
Jordan Hobbins, 19, of Ladysmith Road, Grimsby, has joined the Grenadier Guards and will begin training in a week's time.
"I will be based at Catterick for training and I can't wait to get fitter and learn new skills," he said.
"I know the 28 weeks of training will be tough because I don't like early mornings!
"Before I applied for this, I wanted to be a personal trainer at a gym but I changed my mind.
"You have to be a strong person to join the Army and it feels good getting my certificate."
Jordan Leslie, 21, of Grimsby, joined the Royal Logistic Corps as a specialist driver and Michael Flatters, 22, also of Grimsby, joined the Yorkshire Regiment to become an infantry soldier.
