Unfortunately I dont get overtime just a basic salary, however I dont pay for my food (ration pack) or accommodation (tent, trench etc) when in overseas in Afghan etc, my pension is payable at 60 and is 1/3rd. I suppose I justify my wage of £40k by the lack of overtime payments, 1 years training at Sandhurst, responsible for 30 troops, facing the enemy etc etc. Not complaining as its my vocation just looking into a new career due to family etc.
Well I recommend you apply for a trainee driver position you certainly possess the qualities looked for by TOCs
