Title: H.M.Forces discount
Post by: scrubarug on March 21, 2010, 08:38:21 pm

Just a quick thought anyone out there considered a discount for Armed Forces personnel?
Might be a heads up there!  patriotic and all that

I would. We have RAF Odiham just up the road which is the home of the Chinnocks, and there's no doubt at given the choice of flying a chinnock at 100 feet or a jet at 20,000 feet I'd opt for the safer way of being in the air over some of those dangerous places.

I've worked at Odiham on some exercise with the RAF and Army, we got a right ticking off for turning up in a white Hertz van at the side of the runway, getting changed from civvy clothes into our overalls, recovering our Seaking and carrying out an After Flight Service (AFS), wrapping the "Cab" up, changing back into civvys and going back to our 4 star hotel for a few drinkies....Happy days ;D

Even the RAF's and Squaddies top brass were staying in tents ??? Our Commanding Officer argued that he didn't want his men getting a bad nights rest and compromising his Aircraft and Crew's safety ::) Having a hangover from hell was obviously safer... ;D

I give a 90% discount for naval vessels to be cleaned within a 40 mile radius of my home.

That's ok then because I've heard that a nuclear sub is making it's way up the River Don as I type.

I used to do Army base near me, I found out from the 'Sally' (he's the guy that sorts the accomodation out) that if you give a discount included in your price.

Say 10% discount for payment with in 30 days they have to use it as otherwise they would be seen as wasting taxpayers money.

I only stopped doing it when they brought out massive spec and condition quote forms the size of a small book.

If you can get it good luck to you.
