“I first trained as an Army Chef when I left school at 16, but after a couple of years I decided to leave and try my luck in a civilian kitchen. Before long, though, I was getting ground down by the nine-to-five routine. I was bored – I'd made a mistake. I walked back into an Army careers office, rejoined, and I’ve never looked back.”
