It was a long shot for me.
I applied late and didn’t think I’d make cut
However, I’ve been accepted as an officer within the Parachute Regiment.
For all those that believed in me, thank you.
My time as CSM was the pinnacle of my non commissioned adventure.
Watch this space.

Op Fingal 2002 one of the first tours of Afghanistan as a young soldier.
Op Pitting 2021 during the evacuation of Afghanistan as a CSM.
It’s been an experience.
Only 4 soldiers who conducted both tours. It’s been a pleasure to serve with you 👍🏻

I’m genuinely in awe at what

The shocking thing as I read some of the posts is how many serving or ex serving have taken their own lives due to MH issues.
We MUST do better for those serving and aftercare for those who have served.

Ultimately there are 2 groups of people who both work for the same organisation.
I can’t comment from a RN or RAF POV but the army isn’t regressing or archaic like it was in the 1980/1990’s. This shouldn’t even be a topic for debate.
