Book Preview:

#1 I was a rebel. I couldn’t be doing with people telling me to do things I didn’t want to do. I wanted to be a soldier, and I was there in spirit. I could already see myself dressed in green with a gun over my shoulder.

#2 I was 18 when I went on the Potential Royal Marines Course. I was fit as a flea, and I smashed the three-day course out of the water. I was accepted on 29 May 1989, a date that is etched on my mind.

#3 I was always questioning authority, which some people may find strange. I didn’t join the Marines to iron shirts, but I understood that all that shaving and polishing was a metaphor for operating in a warzone: sloppiness becomes habitual, and your life and your mates’ lives are dependent on the minutest of details.

#4 I grew both physically and mentally stronger as training progressed. I was also given my first leadership role as a section commander. I was over the moon. This man had told everyone he had passed and was going to be on my training team, but it turned out he had been back-squaded and was on his way out.
