    ARRSE Poll 2009 - Serving / Retired etc

    About time to update the 'who are you' stats. I have to be honest and admit that this is mainly to help me give info to potential advertisers, but is also interesting for all I think. Regardless, I would appreciate your input. There is no way at all I can see who selected what, whether by username, IP or my supernatural powers.

    Damn - you beat me to it. Fingers problems. I just found a peculiarity with the poll thing that means it's easy to lose your last option.

    If it hadn't have been me, it would have been someone not so patient like Oldgoat or Gren

    In the absence of the choice of: "Didn't want to join up when I was eligible (though once obtained an application for the WRENS), but now, in my dotage, and would love to join up, they wouldn't have me" .......

    ...... I've done the first one.

    How about a category for "Married in to the job/Padbrat". Although strawberries they do have a tenuous connection.

    Retired from both regular and reserves. However, Like Oliver Twist, I still consider myself "well in".
