OK, to set the record straight. The purpose of the thread was to:
a. let the good folk of NSC know what I am doing so if you wanted something done, I can help you out with something that will not cost the earth. (NSC rates!)
b. Thoughts on my username
Certainly did not want to end up as a binfest! Just wanted the guys of NSC know that they can go to a trusted source if they ever require it. Likwise, if I needed help with a car for example, I would come on here and ask for advice, and if it means that my custom goes to a NSCer, brilliant.I am not touting.
Oldboy - understand where you are coming from (to a degree) but the services are just a platform. You need to know that it is a game early on and that you are not indispensible. I know a lot of my ex service mates have fallen on hard times and I do my best to help whenever I can. Oh, and before you say it, no I'm not medal hunting. Just doing the right thing by people whom I have a great sense of empathy with.
You do not need to justify yourself. The leap from the armed forces to embroidery amuses me though
