Identical to my mate he was a RM for several years. He worked with the Special Forces Support Group in Afghan before he finally came out and went on the ships. A more unassuming man you would care to meet, not a big lad in any way in fact he comes across as a little shy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

R.A.W 1,987 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 It was what I wanted to do when I left school.............. did the old interview down the careers office even sat a test . Another job came up and I took it , forking Glad I did now. I got the impression things would have been a bit tougher without the film crew about. Must be a massive shock to the system thrown into that environment , No sleep and told when to eat and how to eat when to wash. For those that have in been in the services ................Is it the small things not the screaming and shouting that's difficult ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
