I am truly grateful for the foundation that RFCS instilled in me and the lifelong comradeship that it also afforded. Would do it all again if I could.

J.J. Bright (Ardagh class)

After moving to Oz in December 1996 got work as an Electronics Technician my Army trade) in the Casino Surveillance Industry. As it is very interesting work (and there seems to be an endless supply of dishonest people) I moved to the operational side of Surveillance five years ago and now match my wits against cheats, scammers, pick pockets, thieves and other grubs that gravitate daily to the Casino for which I work. Married numerous times, have 3 adult children and 6 month old daughter with my current wife.

Postings were 1 Base Wksps (Trentham), HQ Company 7RNZIR on loan back to 1 Base, ANZUK Area Wksps (Singapore) & back to 1 Base. Moved to Oz Dec 96 & got work as an Electronics Technician (my Army trade) in Casino Surveillance. As it is very interesting work I moved into the operational side and now match my wits against cheats, scammers, pick pockets, thieves and other grubs that gravitate to Casinos. In 2005 I was headhunted to a casino on Tinian Island to manage the Surveillance operation there - all my staff are Philippine & Napalese Nationals. I married 3 times & have 5 children [g,b,b,g,b] ranging from 31 to 2 (as of 2005) and have 2 grandsons. I love working in Asia where all the girls are pretty, as is my Asian wife (and mother of my 4 & 2 year olds). If you remember me drop me a line or come visit.
