Ian Moore – Accepting redundancy

The only reason my career stopped really is because of redundancy.

They did away with the last of the diesel submarines, and from that point on, my skill set had gone out the window, even though I’d actually been selected for Officer and when I asked about what sort of jobs I was going to be doing as an Officer, seeing as how you’ve just got rid of all my Trade Training and all my skill set where it lies, I was told, “Well, we always need General List Officers to be able to do various tasks” and it sounded to me too much like general dogsbody, so I thought no.

I’ve always been front line, I’ve always been either on a submarine, supporting a submarine, going out into various war zones, supporting submarines out there and doing various things.

No, I think I’ll sort of pass on that one and I’ll accept the redundancy and move on.
