Jim Perks – The Perisher ballet

If you go on Perisher, not understanding how a submarine is fought, then again you fail. You should already know that.

It’s a Leadership Course. It teaches you how to command, so I was unduly worried because I knew I could do the Maths.

I wasn’t the best at it by any stretch of the imagination, but I knew what to look at when, and my Maths might be a bit out, my stopwatches you know, but eyes only is great fun.

It’s almost a ballet, it’s fascinating. To watch it’s fascinating, to be able to do it.

It’s another one of those things that when it clicks, and you’ve gone from one ship to five ships all at the same time, just with stopwatches and mental Maths, it’s something you feel really proud of actually.
