Hi all,
Well, after just under a month out of work after leaving the Army, I am pleased to say I have a new job starting on Monday as a tramping box jockey 
So if you happen to see a red and grey motor with the the nameplate of Smudge in the windscreenâŚGive us a wave 
(and yes its Smudge, not Grundril as I cant change my user name on here, unless somebody knows how to do it ? )
Lets hope your a bit better than the âsquaddieâ we had in our place the other night eh.
Says the legs are stuck up on a trailer and he cant turn the handle(another monkey who believes the crap these CPC âtrainersâ tell him about legs being wound hard to the top or fined by VOSA jesus)
Tells him to go and put em in low range to âcrackâ em.Silly bugger only tries to drive the truck round the yard in low range dont he!What?
Didnt know that legs have 2 ranges but"been driving trucks for years"
Gimme strength!!!
Congratulations, Smudge.Lack of training! Thatâs the sort of stuff we learned at our fatherâs knee when we were young enough to run under a trailer without bending!
Congratulations, Smudge. How long before you retire? 
Welcome to civil world mate hope its good to you!
Best advice I would give you is remember there is no such thing as a daft question but there is plenty of daft actions! Never be scared to say you donât know something MOST people will help you anytime

Yes most including me but some of our âforcesâ collegues tend to believe the crap they here on the adverts.âjoin the army be the BESTâ and they believe it.
Dont need no â â â â â â â â who thinks he knows all and knows nothin talkin crap because he once wore a bloody uniform.Been in this job too long and heard all this crap before.
Good luck.
Youâll soon pick things up mate, and as somebody said donât listen to the wrong people a lot of drivers spout a lot of bs, others give good advice, itâs a matter of judging which is which. So good luck with that, As for your avatar I think you have to pm a mod.

So, judging by your rather acidic tone in your posts, you have never been a fan of the forces or you never made it through basic training and have been bitter ever since ?
I am proud of what I have done in my time and pleased to have been a member of the BEST Army in the world and now know that I am in a different ball game and i have a lot to learn.However, if I donât know stuff, I will ask and if that means getting berated by others and it keeps them happyâŚfill your boots !

Wouldnt even go there â â â â ,Wanted to learn my trade from professionals not some â â â â â â â â â wannabe who can shout loud and keep his feet at ten to two.
Just ignore bking. He is the sort of driver that doesnât smile, laugh, or has a good day at work because all he will be doing is moaning about every other thing on the road, and whatâs around him. He is also some sort of hero on the road to so just ignore it and crack on.
Good luck in your new job and hope you enjoy it.

We all had to learn something in life and he is having to learn a new job. So stop with the jack the lad talk and stop being upset at being rejected for the Army
Dear Grundil,
Hereâs the post I think you are looking for regarding changing your user name Changing your user name - FEEDBACK FORUM - Let Us Know! (INTERACTIVE) - Trucknet UK
mrs mix is the lady to ask.
But you have to have a good reason for doing it, not just because you wish too and also check smudge ainât being used by anyone else first.
When they change it, you donât get any advanced notice really, it just changes. You know when your username has changed, as you enter your old username in, but you canât get into your account anymore. If that happens, put your new username in and your âold/same/originalâ password youâve always used and bobâs your uncle!
Take care out there!

Now that would be the ULTIMATE insult. Now bring on the next army Ha mechanic
he he he!
Realise that pretending to be some fZB hero means ZB in the real world.
Dont mind nobody from the army just realise that in reality it is a second rate entity that never had to make any money and the real world is and always will be far more advanced than this closed shop will ever be.
But from reading his posts i cannot see how he is being a hero. I think this might be the case of you tarring him with the same brush with the ones you have met in the past?

Your right and I apologise for pre judging the man but I been in this job for a long time and they come out the forces and know it all and even when they totaly ZB it up they are still stood their trying to blame some ZBer else.
They are not the best never have been never will be,they do not know it all never have done never will do,you do not tell you grandmother how to â â â â eggs not today and not next week.Sit ,Learn .Listen and keep your gob shut and forget the ZB army its gone"!
