Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I achieve the rank of Major, but today I have the honour of wearing it. To everyone who has supported me on my journey, a sincere thank you. To everyone who told me I would never achieve anything, thank you for the motivation 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Two days before his final patrol on Op Herrick 11 in Afghanistan, Jo updated his Facebook status too: "Once more into the breach, dear friends." Tragically he paid the ultimate sacrifice on that patrol 💔 Sleep well brother, you may be gone, but you will never be forgotten RiP 💔

It's not about the destination it's about the journey. 26 years ago I arrived at the @HCav1660 a young lad from @SunderlandUK trying to find my way in life. I found a home there, friends who became family, & it changed my life forever. I will always be grateful to my🔵🔴🔵 family

I met 40 new @BritishArmy candidates a few weeks ago and showed them the Your Army 19 posters. My favourite response to them was; “The snow flake one is me sir” I then asked do these posters offend you? his reply “ yes sir but everything offends me I’m a snowflake” #GreatAnswer 🇬🇧

Another example of the amazing work @BritishArmy personnel are doing whilst deployed in support of the @DefenceHQ response to #Covid19UK ; our people deliver so much. Super proud of all of our deployed personnel #OneTeam @UrchTyrone @ArmySgtMajor @FdArmyComdSM @ARRC_ComdSM

RiP his Royal Highness, The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. I was lucky enough to meet Prince Phillip on a few occasions, he was warm, funny, and charming.

I started to re-watch #bandofbrothers yesterday, if you ever need life putting into perspective this will do it for you. It always makes me think how lucky we are, yes 2020 has been rubbish, but... It could be a lot worse #perspective #Heros #LestWeForget #Humbling

I have picked up a little negative energy regarding #opTeamwork today. For me, if the briefs, training, and discussions help make one @BritishArmy Soldiers life better then it has been worthwhile.
