is not a 9-5 job managing at tescos, the Armed Forces recruit individuals willing to give far more than their time if the job requires it
While fully appreciating the excellent job the Services do and the dedication of Service people, many of the the views on this thread are somewhat misguided. Despite what you may think, civvies work just as hard as Servicemen and women - having left he RAF (after serving for 9 years), I can assure you that life 'outside' is just as demanding. If you really think that successful companies rely on staff working only 9-5, then you are sadly mistaken - and would perhaps be best advised to stay in until your 55 point!
