Steve Thorpe – A message for young people

I would just say to any young person, I joined the Navy with nothing, with no qualifications, let school with nothing and the Navy provided me with a great platform to get worldly wise and also educationally qualified and I left the Navy as a Chartered Manager with a Master’s Degree and an NVQ Level 7 in Management, so it provides a great platform for you to better yourself, both socially and educationally if you join up and embrace it.
