| 摘要： | Moore traces back his interest in engineering to an internship at the AA as a young teenager. Moore recalls: "I've always been exposed to someone around that has the ability to work on things and fix things. On top of that my mother's Mk Ⅱ Ford Escort always needed things doing to it every weekend, or it wouldn't start on the Monday! My stepdad showed me things like setting the points and adjusting for spark gap. Doing all of these things, I learned that if you adjust this, it has that impact. That appealed to me." But his path into an apprenticeship was longer than most. Ignorant of that possibility, he chose to do A-levels (maths and physics) over going to college. In his spare time, he was an Army cadet, and planned to enter as an officer. However, Army recruiters pushed him towards university, and when the appeal of studying began to wane, he entered the infantry instead, training in heavy artillery. After two years, he was injured in training (stress fractures in his legs), and sought a medical discharge. "It was more painful failing the course than the injury itself - but maybe that was the mentality driven into you then." |
