‘Every man thinks meanly of himself for not having been a soldier’ – Samuel Johnson

Everyone has heard of MI5 and MI6, but what about plain old MI?

Jon Comyn had heard of it, but had no idea what they actually did. He had served in the infantry and even gone to Sandhurst, but nothing held his interest, so he was now on the lookout for something new.

Many people fancy themselves as an international spy, but in truth, the Intelligence Corps is more Harry Palmer than James Bond; working in the shadows and pitting your wits against an unseen foe.

Jon figured that the only way to find out what life in Military Intelligence was actually like was to join them.

So that’s what he did.

This is his story.
