I served in the British
Army in the 'Royal Corps Of Signals' as a 'Radio Tech X2' in
Africa and the Middle-East as well as the UK. After leaving the
'Royal School of Signals', at Catterick and a spell at Durham
University, my job entailed the repair and installation of equipment
in use as manpack, mobile and static, out in the field with equipment
I carried with me or where I set up a temporary workshop. |
