Did you train with some of the people you now work with?

Yeah I did. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan with lads who I went through basic gun training with. I think what the RAF tried to do when they post you from RAF Honington after basic training is they inevitably try and post you with four or five lads who you've went through basic training with. The purpose in this is you've made friends, you know how these people work and you're not going to a different environment without knowing anybody whatsoever. But obviously you might get posted somewhere where you're the only one, but with the Royal Air force Regiment, the organization as it is, you're going to make friends wherever you go. You're all in it together and you're all one big family inevitably.
