MY RESUME
Work experience
Some of the jobs that I had when I was out of school help me now that I'm with the Forces.
When I was working as a night watchman, it gave me the experience of working eight o'clock to six AM. Some of our courses and training we have to work long days without many breaks, and that's what it would be like in a battle situation.
It's not easy to get used to working on very little sleep; but my experience made it easier to deal with and get used to the twenty-four-hour days that we have sometimes.
