Personal Life
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%">Tom grew up in central Belfast but managed not to get involved in "The Troubles” by getting into boxing instead. He moved to England for university, and after he completed his studies, he followed in his father's footsteps and joined the Army. Although he can jump through the hoops when necessary, he doesn't like to "play politics".  He will freely admit that the political arena is not his forte, and he would not choose to trade places with Sir Charles.  When given the chance for some time off, he will often go fly fishing or mountain climbing.

Military Career
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%">In the 1st Armoured Division, Moore saw service in the First Gulf War, including the Battle of Norfolk. After passing selection, he joined G Squadron’s 22 Troop. He reached the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and was in charge of 22 Regiment 's G Squadron before joining the covert unit at the time of its formation in 2007, as Silver Commander, with the tactical command of the regiment. While he was temporarily stood down, he spoke as a guest lecturer at Sandhurst. A former sniper, he proved that he was still good at his job when he shot down a helicopter with an Accuracy International AS50.
