In 1987 he was posted to 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment. During his time in 3 PARA he saw active service in Northern Ireland being awarded a GOCs commendation, for working as part of a specialised joint military and police search team, tasked with locating hidden terrorist weapons and explosives.
