The feeling of actually joining this group - again, we just call it the regiment - has nothing to do with going through the selection process, but I just feel lucky to have got through that process anyway. It wasn't pride, it's just that they were going to find me out sooner or later. The only way to explain it is if you're a footballer, you know you want to go to the Premiership, or if you're a carpenter, you want to do some fantastic work of furniture, and there's nowhere better to go. That is it. If you want to be a professional soldier in the best organization, then that's the place to go.
