There are lots of us with stories about our adventures after leaving the Navy, Army or Air Force. If you want to see more of what I’ve been up to over the last 21 years, you can read my story at www.bakingblind.com and catch up with the videos of the world tour at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWTJYx7jGA3xaR4830wJSRg?view_as=subscriber
Military life was great for learning specific skills. In my case, managing projects, budgets and people. Far more important was the motivation, determination, confidence and ambition to live life to the full and try to make a contribution to the country. Working with other people from many different backgrounds, with so many different skills, characters and motivations was ideal preparation for life in “Civvy Street”. Perhaps this is our great strength as ex-military people : having breadth of vision and being willing to accept anyone like-minded, regardless of who or what they are.
