''My father, who was also in the army, convinced me to resign and move to the United Kingdom. I applied to join the British army six months after landing in the UK. It was a straightforward procedure. I wanted to join the army in a faraway place because of the Hollywood movies I had seen. The Ghana Army was there only for the experience,'' he said.

Boateng lauds the procedure to join the UK Army

Boateng said he has no regrets about joining the British Army. He was proud of his job and remarked that the salary is competitive.

The training is demanding. I anticipated that training would be much easier than it was in Ghana when I enrolled. It was the opposite. The procedure, on the other hand, was easy and straightforward. You only need a scholarship in the United Kingdom.
