What do you like about your job and the company?
I remember seeing coverage of Gulf War I on the television as I was growing up; I remember thinking that I wished I could do something about these things rather than just watching them helplessly unfold on the television. I felt by joining the Army I had a chance to make a difference, and to play a part in the changing of history. I definitely feel the Army has allowed me to do this and still passionately feel that the British Army is a force for good with the potential to make significant changes.
Greatest achievements
I was fortunate enough to complete a year long attachment to the US Army. Initially I was stationed in Seattle, Washington, before deploying to Iraq on Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. On completion of my tour with them I was awarded the Bronze Star for meritorious service in a combat zone.

Top Insider Advice
I have served 16 years in the Army now. I have lots of experience gained though courses, exercises, operations and life. But, there is always something new. Something I've never done before. A new system, weapon, theory or problem. You can always learn something new, or improve something old. Don't be afraid to ask for help and always seek feed back. But remember feedback will not always be positive.
