Ex Forces? Full Pension? Watch out!!!

[EGT Redline]

How much would you want to pay some old burnt out tea swilling comfort zone dwelling ex chief who's been off the tools forever and shuffles round a hangar with his pipe and slippers moaning all day?

Now that is funny…..

One of the biggest hurdles ex forces guys face when leaving the services is often their own doing. Their attitudes and expectations are often unrealistic. Far too many believe the world owes them a favour and some simply think they can carry on where they left off. During my time in the RAF I worked with a fair number of Sgt’s and C/T’s who begrudged having to study for a licence and thought they should be given one gratis just because they've spent 22 years in the forces. I used to say to these guys that if you are as good as you think you are then why not leave and take your chances out in the real world. Strangely enough they elect to stay in, that old comfort zone where they can hide behind rank pretending to be important is not that easy to give up!!
