The Nottingham Trent University graduate, who was recently presented with the Kohima Warrior trophy in recognition for being his company’s outstanding soldier
A Nottingham man joined the army after a disturbing realisation following the notorious Salisbury poisoning. Private Alan Bulman, 30, from Bulwell, has enjoyed travel, camaraderie and a sense of adventure since joining the British Army Reserves in 2019.
“I’ve always had the itch to join the Reserves and I finally decided to apply after university, having settled into stable civilian employment.” The Reserve Forces play a crucial role in national security, from countering security threats, peacekeeping, and humanitarian efforts, making up roughly 18 per cent of Britain’s Armed Forces.
“There is an endless list of opportunities. If anything, my frustration is I don’t necessarily have enough time to make the most of all the opportunities I would otherwise like to. After university, a lot of my friends went back to where they live, and the Reserves has helped me build a new circle of mates.”
