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 loved being a Tank Commander, i worked alongside some of the best people in the Army. That community is why i joined the Royal Tank Regiment. I was surrounded by people who i liked and allowed me to be myself. Although i have changed path in the Army i always have my Regimental family to return to. They form the foundation of my new skillset and taught me lessons that make me successful today.

As someone that is now out of training, the basic training is such a great experience looking back now. Even though it may seem difficult, just push through and it is all worth it in the end to actually do the job role you joined for.

In my experience the Army isn't looking for one type of stereotyped Officer or Soldier. In fact it is the diversity of our organisation that makes us so effective.
