This is the cost of training a British soldier not bad value for money considering what they are expected to do taking in to account what an MP gets and I am not even going to go into what them ***** in the House of Lords get
The course at the Army Training Centre is 14 weeks long - the shortest basic training course for regular soldiers.
The average cost of basic training for a soldier who passes is just over £38,000, with that cost being made up of the following, per trainee:
Manpower: £16,200 This is the most costly expense to the British Army when transforming recruits into soldiers, and is described as "direct and indirect manpower costs" for both military and civilian staff.
Trainee salaries: £9,000 The second-largest outlay is paying the trainees themselves. Each Army recruit undergoing basic training course in Pirbright earns £9,000.
Infrastructure: £8,000 The third largest cost per trainee soldier goes towards their accommodation and training facilities.
Other outlays include £1,900 on clothing for recruits, administration costs of £1,800 and £800 on infrastructure.
When it comes to hitting the mark, each trainee will go through £400 worth of ammunition during the 14-week course.
