Jim Faulkner left Dortmund under a cloud, volunteering himself for a posting to trouble-torn Northern Ireland. Every posting is a fresh start with opportunities to impress, and in this case, it’s a timely move.

Will Jim settle in his new role, or will alcohol become a major part of his life again?
Will Jim make the grade for the course?
Is Jim shaping up as a soldier and tradesman?
