Hello,

Not been having much luck. More than likey due to the current state of the trade not much work around no doubt it will pick up agian at some point ! but when

So just been sitting around at home today and saw an advert for the army on TV, been on the web site and came across this job, MILITARY ENGINEER (PLANT OPERATOR MECHANIC) http://www.armyjobs.mod.uk/jobs/Pages/J ... category=2

you could do alot worse ben ,i was going to join when i left school if i could not get a job
you will be getting your lgv licence too ,they will train you to do everything by the book
it must be worth a look
i remember working on a camp down at warminster we layed a duct line to a outpost on the edge of the plains ,stone lorries were constantly running in all day, every day the army lads had tracked shovels , dozer's 360,s graders ,dump trucks ,rollers you name it they had it there ,they were repairing/rebuilding the tracks across the plains ,one day this tired old ex army now painted yellow D6c trundled up to this out post and the operator an old boy began cleaning out his tracks with the 2" high pressure hose that the tanks used ,i went and spoke to him ,when i asked what he was doing he said ,i follow these lads around and when they have done the best they can me and this old girl tidy up after them
cheers graham
