Hi all. So I thought I'd share this picture with you all because I haven't published one of myself in a while. Well, there's no point really since I' very rarely in uniform nowadays!

Life at CI Ops (Counter Intelligence Operations), or Special Branch - to use our civilian counterparts title, is an interesting one that has me moving around a lot in the UK. My out of area will be in Afghnistan, probably early next year, for 6 months. Sounds daunting but I am actually looking forward to it because it is such an interesting job.

Back In The UK - for now!

Hi folks! So my last sojourn was a relatively safe one in Bahrain. It was hard work with some dreadful hours, but well worth it. I was a Force Protection policeman there working the bars, clubs etc and gathering anything that was of interest to us. We worked hand in hand with our American counterparts in NCIS and I must say I was very much impressed with their professionalism and humour.

I haven't got too many pictures from Bahrain because:

a. I didn't have my personal camera with me very much
b. They'd look too much like holiday pictures because I was never in uniform
c. I had long hair & I look like a tramp with long hair!

My new job is with the Specialist Police Wing (SPW) in our Special Branch. That, unfortunately, means a lot of time away for my last 3 years in the mob. Still loving it tho.

As to photo's from Bahrain, I'll publish what I have soon.
