Sob stories don't work. Shit happens in all our lives. You must have a skill that you can offer for money?
My father was in the forces for 14 years, runs his own company now. However, he would never ask for help like that. The forces do something to people, teach you to rely on yourself and only that. They also teach you that you can learn anything. My father again for example could pass any form of computer repairing program and the only experience he has is fixing 3 or 4 over the years.
I also noticed, most of the people who come out the forces have OCD like tendencies, mostly due to the early stages when you are timed to get up and dressed, strip and change bed etc.
Something is a little off with this post. If you can prove who you are, and you just got a job and where the job is (so I can confirm) and that you were indeed a veteran I will lend you money to be paid back at your own pace as I have nothing but respect for those in the forces or those who have been.
