Chris Randall grew up in a family where military service spanned generations. His father served with the Royal Green Jackets, while both his grandfather and great-grandfather served in the World Wars. Continuing that legacy, Chris first joined the Royal Air Force Regiment as a gunner before being commissioned into the Army, as his service took him to Northern Ireland, Germany, Cyprus, the Falkland Islands and Iraq.
Chris also reflects on his time within the Personal Recovery Units, supporting soldiers recovering from illness and injury as they worked towards returning to operational service. Drawing on decades of experience across different branches of the armed forces and wider public service, including time in a police operational control room and service with the Coastguard, Chris shares some thoughtful and hard-earned lessons from a lifetime of service.
