SOLDIER Adele Mauback is so pleased with life in the Army that she is heading home to persuade others to join up.

Adele, 23, of Mellor Brook, will be at the Army Careers Office, in Fishergate, Preston, until February 5 before returning to work with 11 Signal Regiment.

The former St Wilfrid's High School pupil is glad she joined the Army because it is more interesting than a regular 9am to 5pm job. "You meet lots of people, learn valuable training, can travel anywhere and partake in many sports."

As well as completing her full military training Adele has also been adventure training where she tried canoeing, caving, hill walking and climbing.
