Life after the Army?

[robbiedont]

Was just wanting to hear peoples experiences of finding work after time in the Army, particularly after an infantry role.

What have you ended up doing?

[Tab]

When I came out I became a theatre manager in the west end.

Still in a uniform and working with a shed load of ex forces so my transition period was easy

The only drama i had was having to pay bills for the first time, in my green skin days all i had to pay from my own pocket was a mobile bill, whats all the water, gas and electric bill thingy all about then, that was the hardest part for me, oh and having a tiff with a Phamacy when the charged me my perscription charge for the first time, i honestly thought it was free and as i paid my taxes why should have i have to pay for the thrush cream which my good doctor had given me,(joke, just in case Mrs Goldie is peeping), how silly did i feel when the old lady next to me asked if i had been in prison for a long time!!

We had a similar question just about a month ago about careers after leaving the military. Here's the link:

In our efforts to help here, I think we`ve missed a little pearl

When Tab "came out" he became a theatrical manager in the West End
That explains everything

I came out in 1994 after 32 years......was glad to be out at the end...just had enough, as they say

I now drive an armoured van 4 days a week.....beats working for a living I always say!!

Your not driving that 'Pig' round West Belfast full of tourists?

BB, that`s no way to refer to Mrs Victor
