Remove Capita from recruiting for the Army and use Soldiers to recruit Soldiers

What the petition asks

Army Careers is run by Capita under a £1.3 billion deal. However they are not fit for purpose. They fail to meet targets yet still make large profits. Their staff who have no actual experience in the Army lack the ability to inspire potential recruits to join.

In some cases the first time a recruit meets someone in uniform is when they arrive in training.
