Here is a short brief of my career in the Norwegian military. As you will notice, I started out as an infantry grunt in the Norwegian Army and are today a Officer in the Royal Norwegian Air Force. In my relatively short time in the military, since 1992, I have served in many different units, in many different places. Today I´m stationed at Andøya Flystasjon (air base), were I serve as a crew member aboard a P3C Orion in the 333 Squadron - "Saints".
