hats off to you mate, think artisan and airborne on here, have done their stint :RpS_thumbup: they'll know where your at.As the post says any ex soldiers left the forces and done plastering?
How did you go about been plasterers? Short course? Labourers?trainee?
thanks jamie
I am an ex soldier mate. I used the pitiful re settlement that i got towards and intensive 6 week course, I already had a spread lined up to work for when I started. I dont think I would have done it otherwise. It was a big finantial risk but I had a few quid in the bank from being away so much.
good luck to you mate, I am sure you can make it happen.
As he says maybe BRANCH out int something else!Im ex forces mate, but didn't do it for my resettlement course, i was taught by my old man as teenager. My pre release course i trained as a tree surgeon, but just went back to plastering as the over heads were massive.
If you really want to do it then go for it you'll have the drive to do well, my advice would be not to, don't waste your resettlement money on a plastering course, there are other trades out there that have the potential to earn more than being a spread, and carry less health risks, IMO
Although the money is reasonable, the first chance i get to do something else then im away.
Id be thinking more along the lines of Police or Fire, you'll be able to transfer your pension and at least have a retirement date with a decent pension.
All the best in what you do.
Why don't you stop in mate as it looks like north Africa is going to get interesting.There just seems to be know cry for anything at the minute.
sent cv to **** loads companies and different trades get nothing back lol
I don't know if its cause I'm to old or what.

and you think the building trade is going to be different.had 12 years of getting fukced about and absouletly scunnnered with it lol.
Pensions changed
i could go on and on about reasons all day why to get out lol
only one good positive reason is its steady money and guarnteed every month.
Dont get me wrong i think the army does young lads the world of good. Stands you in good stead, but one day you wake up or grow up and the brain wash and bullshtie dont cut it anymore.
