The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

top secret, eyes onlymy trade: Army Soldier
the dirty secret: IT'S SHIT. don't anyone be fooled by the flash recruiting drive video you won't be going ski-ing, free falling, mountain climbing etc.
you don't get great pay and conditions, the pay is in fact less than minimum wage, I got more pay when I worked for a call centre!!
you get bossed around by social inadequate fuck wits who usually don't last ten minutes in civvie street.
the accommodation is worse than the stuff illegal immigrants riot over, it would be a breach of human rights to put prisoners in the conditions we were "housed" in.
and the crowning turd in the water pipe:
just as you get back in to being a "human" again the fu*kers call you up and send you to a war zone
I could go on but I'm saving it for my book - Confessions of a Ginger Welsh Medic, sub title - Pass the Morphine The Bitch is Coming Round
Length - first time around 9 years now extended by 6 months, Joy!!
