Royal Navy Veteran

[Polaris Overland]

14 years in the Royal Navy as a Weapons Engineer and Ships Diver.
Mix of vessels from Minesweepers to Destroyers and Frigate and various active deployments including Falklands and the Gulf.
Swore when I left I wanted nothing to do with Ships or Electronics but here I am still working on ships, still working with electronics and now a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer.

I genuinely believe a forces background is a huge bonus when it comes to Overlanding and my forces experience has certainly helped us out on our longer trips.

Thank you for your service! We have learned a great deal from former Service men on our endeavors.

With respect,

Thank you for serving!
I still regret to not have joined the military. We had compulsory military service back then, I was exempt because both of my brothers served regularly and full time and the 3rd of the family must not serve.
