The gentleman himself says the following:-
Thank you very much guys for the comments, quite humbling.
What I would say is that the confidence and attitude the Regiment gave me, helped me in my studies and research, so if I hadn't joined up and met such top blokes, I wouldn't be sitting here.
I would also say that many of the less academic guys I met in the mob, were much brighter than me in many ways. I remember being in awe of some people's ability to assess a stressful situation and make the correct decision, guide me around a training area without need for a map or indeed any number of other things that probably seemed day-to-day stuff, but which are actually very difficult to do well.
Joining the RAF Regiment was the best decision I've ever made.
