ex forces desperately seeks work of any description

[Rick2517]

I think its just the attraction to working outdoors and using powerful equipment and the danger thing.. This trade is very similar to the forces in a strange way only the Taliban is replaced with a 70ft leylandii lol..

i spent 14 years in the army and would have stayed in but got married. now divorced and a very happy bunny but if i could do it all again i would and stay inthe forces till they kicked me out. thats my advice to you mate , stay in if you can, its a crap world out here. re badge if you have to but stay in.

thanks for all the advice, beginning to toy with the idea of going self employed now! think im gunna have to have a goosit down and think about it. over a pint probably!

Cheers!!

Alright Mick its Guy

 

I'd like the security of full time employment with a firm too, until that happens I'll take anything. I've been lucky enough to get a couple of days dragging brash- I'm not really thinking about it in terms of self employed or just plain employed, just in terms of bringing money in where its available.

 

I know if someone offered you work for a couple of days you'd take it, so don't go doing your own head in weighing up the pros and cons of self employed

 

As for anyone else reading this, I did my training with Mick - he's a top bloke and like he says, he doesn't moan about a bit of graft. You'd be doing yourself & your company a favour hiring him
