He was commissioned into the Royal Scots on 5 September 1986 as a second lieutenant (on probation).[8] As a University Candidate he was a full-time student at university and trained in his spare time. On 10 December 1986, he transferred to the Scots Guards.[9][10] On 16 June 1987, his commission was confirmed and dated to 5 September 1986; this signified the start of his full-time military service. He was granted seniority in the rank of second lieutenant from 9 April 1983. He was promoted to lieutenant, which was back dated to 5 September 1986, and was granted seniority from 9 April 1985.[11] He was promoted to captain on 5 April 1989.[12] On 10 April 1990, he transferred to the Regular Army Reserve of Officers, thereby ending his active military service.[13] Intelligence workYounger joined SIS in 1991.[2] He joined the service at the same time as Richard Tomlinson, who in his book The Big Breach, portrayed him as 'Spencer', a St Andrews graduate and former Scots Guard who was recruited while working for the Halo Trust in Afghanistan.[14] Younger served in the Middle East and Afghanistan. He became head of counter-intelligence in 2009, in which role he was involved in security for the London Olympics 2012. He became Deputy Director in 2012, before being nominated as Chief in October 2014.[15] In a leaked list of 160 MI6 agents - which was originally believed to have been released by Richard Tomlinson, although government officials subsequently "acknowledged that the list did not come from Mr Tomlinson" - Alex Younger is mentioned as having been posted to Vienna in 1995.[16] As of 2015, Younger was paid a salary of between £160,000 and £164,999 by SIS, making him one of the 328 most highly paid people in the British public sector at that time.[17] In 2016 Younger said cyber-attacks, propaganda and subversion from hostile states pose a “fundamental threat” to European democracies including the UK. In a rare speech by an MI6 chief while in office Younger did not specifically name Russia but left no doubt that this was the target of his remarks. Russia has since been accused of interfering in the US presidential election and there are concerns it attempted to do so in French and German elections in 2017.[18][19] In December 2018, Younger raised questions about Huawei's role in the UK's new 5G mobile network.[20] Personal LifeOn 30 March 2019, Younger's son, Sam, was killed in a motoring accident in Stirlingshire.[21] HonoursYounger was appointed Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in the 2011 Birthday Honours.[22] References1. ^{{cite web|title = Appointment of the new Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6)|url = https://www.gov.uk/government/news/appointment-of-the-new-chief-of-the-secret-intelligence-service-mi6|date = 3 October 2014|publisher = Her Majesty's Government|website = GOV.UK|accessdate = 3 October 2014|series = Press releases}} {{S-start}}{{S-gov}}{{S-bef|before = Sir John Sawers}}{{S-ttl|title = Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service|years = November 2014–}}{{S-inc}}{{S-end}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Younger, Alexander William}}2. ^1 {{Cite news |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-29476943 |title=MI6 officer Alex Younger named as new SIS chief |date=3 October 2014 |accessdate=3 October 2014 |publisher=BBC News}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/jun/26/mi6-chief-sir-john-sawers-steps-down |title=MI6 chief Sir John Sawers to step down |first1=Ewen |last1=MacAskill |authorlink1=Ewen MacAskill |first2=Richard |last2=Norton-Taylor |authorlink2=Richard Norton-Taylor |newspaper=The Guardian |date=26 June 2014 |accessdate=5 July 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?cite=51dOREbBphGzuM9CeMadSA&scan=1|title=Index entry|accessdate=3 December 2018|work=FreeBMD|publisher=ONS}} 5. ^{{cite news |last=Pettifor |first=Tom |date=8 December 2016 |title=Everything you need to know about Britain's top spy Alex Younger as he warns of ISIS threat |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/everything-you-need-know-britains-9420802 |newspaper=Daily Mirror|accessdate=9 December 2016}} 6. ^‘YOUNGER, Alexander William’, Who's Who 2014, A & C Black, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing plc, 2014 7. ^{{cite news |last=Younger |first=Alexandra |date=14 February 1994 |title=Wilder shores of love: Five couples who went abroad to get married tell their stories to Alexandra Younger |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/wilder-shores-of-love-five-couples-who-went-abroad-to-get-married-tell-their-stories-to-alexandra-1394125.html |newspaper=The Independent |accessdate=12 December 2016}} 8. ^{{London Gazette |issue=50733 |date=1 December 1986 |page=15534 |supp=y }} 9. ^{{London Gazette |issue=50813 |date=26 January 1987 |page=1079 |supp=y }} 10. ^{{London Gazette |issue=50907 |date=1 May 1987 |page=5856 |supp=y }} 11. ^{{London Gazette |issue=50965 |date=15 June 1987 |page=7669 |supp=y }} 12. ^{{London Gazette |issue=51696|date=10 April 1989 |page=4292 |supp=y }} 13. ^{{London Gazette |issue=52138|date=15 May 1990 |page=9158|supp=y }} 14. ^{{cite book |last1=Tomlinson |first1=Richard |title=The Big Breach |page=31 |url=https://cdn.preterhuman.net/texts/government_information/intelligence_and_espionage/Big.Breach.From.Top.Secret.To.Maximum.Security.pdf |accessdate=27 February 2019}} 15. ^{{cite news |last1=Evans |first1=Michael |last2=Haynes |first2=Deborah |authorlink2=Deborah Haynes |date=3 October 2014 |title=Games anti terror chief Alex Younger named as Britain’s new top spy |url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/games-anti-terror-chief-alex-younger-named-as-britains-new-top-spy-t2r3mxfrnwh |newspaper=The Times |accessdate=3 December 2018 |subscription=yes}} 16. ^{{cite news |last=Du Chateau |first=Carroll |date=30 June 2000 |url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/carroll-du-chateau/news/article.cfm?a_id=69&objectid=138732 |title=Outcast: the spy who wants to spill the beans |newspaper=The New Zealand Herald |accessdate=16 April 2015}} 17. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/492289/150K_senior_salaries.csv/preview|title=Senior officials 'high earners' salaries as at 30 September 2015 -
