And he said, you do drill nights.

And that's all we ask of you, you know, turn up on a drill night on a Wednesday night.

And then you do the weekends.

And he said, you don't always have to turn up to everything.

You just do what you can outside of your sort of scheduled study.

Anyway, this sounded too good to be true.

And I guess I was quite a motivated student.

Remember, I'd already done professional work as a diver, professional work as a police officer.

So I was kind of used to, you know, if the alarm goes off, I've got to get up, right?

But I just loved it.

I just thought it was really social.

I loved what the army had to offer.

I loved the discipline.

And then literally by the end of the first year, I'd done the equivalent of a Green Army soldier basic training as my first year for a university officer training corps with Cambridge.

So it was a wonderful experience.

And again, I was only like mid-20s.

I was 25 at the time when I joined.

And I just thought it was an amazing opportunity.

And then in year two, I was in Norway.

So I kind of had to kind of step aside from it because my languages program and the degree took me there.
