I wanted to do something where I thought I would be useful, where I could contribute. So here I was, a signaller at the school of Sigs in 2000, and then I did really well. I put in a good effort. Whilst I was there, unbeknown to me, they were looking for good signallers to go to Special Forces. So, I was asked near the end of the course, when all the results, most of the results were in, and they could see how everyone was travelling, whether I would consider being posted to Western Australia.
And I was a little bit taken back because as far as I knew, the normal procedure for anyone posting there would be one of two ways: one is either they became, they did the Carter course, they did the selection, got their beret and were posted there. Or they were in an existing unit done really well and picked for whatever reason to go there. It was unusual to be going straight from the School of Signals straight over there, and I said look," I'll do my best" and I accepted and was very privileged to go there.
