  C3S Communication Operator in the Royal Engineers

  I spent nearly six years training and developing within Combat Engineering & Communications, during this time I was based in Hohner, Germany and went on tours to Afghanistan and Iraq. During my Iraq tour, I acted as Communications Operator & Constructions specialist and whilst in Afghanistan I was fast tracked on to a search specialist course and acted as Communications Operator & Search Specialist. My time in Iraq was largely spent building camps for 300-400 American troops and upgrading former camps where I installed shower rooms, French drains, food facilities, stag position points and communication points. Time in Afghanistan was spent with the Op Talisman and I conducted searches for improvised explosive devices and provided routes in to Helmand province. My sport of choice whilst serving in the forces was boxing and I was a part of the squadron boxing team.
