    Hi Melody,


    The most difficult part i feel is the responsibility to be held in such high regard at all times. We cannot let our guard/standards down at any point because of who we are and what we represent.


    I consider myself to be a good man with good morals. But we all have off days. Mine are when I'm "Hangry" this is why I've learnt to travel everywhere with snacks to take the edge off. We all have breaking points, Having said that, British Soldiers are held to a higher account then most and therefore are unable to act of any ill feelings as such. All part of the art of discipline.


    Certainly made me a better version of myself for enlisted of those years ago.
