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.

Haribo (or morale-i-bo) will get you through everything. The only thing you can ever prep entirely for is fitness so work hard. Treat everyone how you want to be treated, you never know when you might rely on them whether it be people you go through training with or colleagues and friends you meet along the way- the Army is a small place!
