William Mayrick, who serves as Breakfast Assistant Editor at GB News and Flying Officer in the RAF Reserves, has balanced both roles for over six years.
"I commissioned as a media officer last year, but I've been in the RAF Reserves for the last six and a half years. GB News, as my employer, gets involved in all of this they support me," Mayrick told GB News.
The media professional brings his civilian skills to his military role whilst benefiting from leadership training.
The broadcaster has signed the Armed Forces Covenant, demonstrating its commitment to supporting military personnel.
"They've signed the Armed Forces Covenant, which is a commitment to supporting those within the Armed Forces. That means we get a number of days' leave specifically for military duties, and we're also allowed a bit of flexibility with our working hours to accommodate when we're needed by the RAF. "
