At the age of 13, Chris joined 2182 (Dorchester) Squadron, Dorset and Wiltshire Wing. He was made a Cadet Warrant Officer on his 18th birthday.
Shortly afterwards, while reading for a mathematics degree at Oxford University, he joined 150 (City of Oxford) Squadron, with whom he paraded during term time. During graduate school, Chris was commissioned in January 1995 as an officer with 878 (Highworth) Squadron, Dorset and Wilts Wing, and he also retained his affiliation with 150 Squadron by becoming a Supernumerary Officer.
In January 1997, he founded 2267 (Lechlade) Detached Flight, which he commanded for nearly two-and-a-half years. Lechlade was granted F3 status in December 1998.
After graduate school, he moved to Sheffield to work in a hospital modeling how cancer spreads. Lechlade achieved Squadron status several months after his departure. He spent his two years in The North as a Squadron officer with 367 (South Sheffield) Squadron, before returning to Oxford in June 2001.
