Greatest achievements
I've completed 7 demanding Operational Tours serving my country in various locations around the globe, and the sense of pride and achievement when finished a successful tour can't be beaten. I've also taken part in numerous exercises around the world, Canada, Kuwait, Belize, America, Falkland Islands, Botswana, Cyprus to name a few. Seeing the world whilst doing my job has been and absolute dream and privilege.

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.

It's always better to be at the bottom of a ladder you wan't to climb, than half way up one you don't. Okay... I promise I won't do anymore cheesy quotes from now on, but it really is true. I've always thought of this, as you can see from the various jobs I've had, I've always been looking for that one job that ticks every box for things you want out of a career. Don't be persuaded into doing a job you're not set on, just because it may result you getting your start date early. Or if you need a qualification for a particular job. Get that qualification! If it means you getting that career/job role that you really want, then go for it. Don't settle for second best.
