Corporal (Cpl) Becky Law (32) from Lanesfield, Wolverhampton has deployed to Oman in the Middle-East on Exercise Saif Sareea 3 (SS3). Becky joined the Army as a Combat Medical Technician and is working in Shafa, Oman on her first overseas deployment with the Army Medical Services.
Cpl Law’s role on SS3 is to provide medical support to the exercising troops. ‘I’ve always wanted to help and care for people’ said Becky, ‘and it’s been great to be able to do my job out here in a more challenging environment.’ ‘The best part of being out here has been working hard to build a fully-functioning medical centre from scratch in the desert’ said Becky.
‘The hardest part has been dealing with heat, it was 51 degrees when we got here. It took us a week to build up the medical centre, it’s been really demanding’. Becky grew up in Lanesfield with her parents, Stephen and Kim and attended Moseley Park School in Bilston, and worked in the Wolverhampton branch of Stationary Box before joining the Army in 2007.
‘Both of my grandads were in the Army, and I really wanted to make my Dad proud, so I joined up and haven’t looked back’ said Becky. In addition to Oman, Becky has also served in Iraq, Afghanistan, Canada, Germany and Kenya. Becky’s husband, Shaun is also in the Army, ‘I’m really looking forward to going back home to Wolves with my husband to visit my family’ said Becky, ‘We’ll be catching up with my folks, grandparents, my 3 sisters and my niece and nephew’.
