hey guys n gals my name is phill and im just new to this as i only heard about this last nyt so i have came on here to try n find some new ppl to talk to and have sensible comversations haha

a bit about me 

i was in training for the IRISH GUARDS and while in training i got injured and was medicaly discharged and it was the worst thing that couldave hapend to me as the army was the only thing i have wanted to do since i was a little boy. wen i was discharged i was told top take a year out get physio and come back in a year if i wished.

a year was over and i went straight back to the careers office n got signed back up. a year later i was in again training for the IRISH GUARDS. then 4mnths later im medicaly discharged again.

now i sit behind a computer n answer calls for a living such a change in careers.

nyone with ny advice i wud apreciate it or comforting storys wud be nice as i am thinking of apealing the decision i was given about a pension.

thanks phill

p.s im a nice guy n i like to meet n talk 2 new ppl male or female altho im straight haha  thanks

hi

well the story i have is of a friend of mine he was in trainning in afc harrogate for the royal welsh and injuried his shoulder realy badly was looking at getting MD but luckly he didnt he went throught all of his operations on his shoulder and was made to transfer he is now a driver in the RLC and avoided being discharged.

so could you not think of doing a diffrent trade in the army or is the irish gaurd the be all and end all?

sorry i dont share a passion with the forces i was trygint to join myself a few years back but cant beacuse of medical but my partner is currently leaveing the army and he refusees to retrade so is it the same deal with you as it is with him that a diffrent trade within the forces is a no go?
