Beret Clean Windows is the best

Puts the military angle in without sounding too gruff and macho like. Remember a lot of your customers will be old ladies and such - don't want to intimidate them..

combine it with a clever logo and a bit of blurb or a tagline about how you clean windows to parade display standard or some such and it could be a winner?

 
I used a discreet military theme for logo. I used the all arms commando squeegee and elite as in special forces of window cleaning

Nice one, how long were you in?

 
I only did 3 years. I hated the regiment I joined, a lot of lads didn't like the fact I was ex infantry. Mainly because the Marines had a bit more respect for someone who served in a combat roll. I did one tour where I met a local lad who was in 42 Commando and got chatting, when I mentioned I had transferred from our local infantry battalion he was quite impressed and asked me if I fancied doing P.T. with them, so the rest of the tour (about 5 1/2 months.) I did PT with them and got really fit. I really got to know some of them lads and ended up going out on the town with their lads instead of our lads who where quite bitchy. When I got back from the tour they had told me one of our P.T.I.'s had served 3 years with them so I went up the gym and met up with him and started going on runs and stuff with him, skipping work to get up the gym to go on a boot run or anything like that. I done a P.R.M.C. course at Lympston and went back to my O.C. and asked if I could do the all arms course they refused so I signed off but they still refused. I believed eventually they would let me do the course rather than let me leave the Army but they did. I went straight the A.F.C.O. but I got a Letter from M.O.D. saying "Commando? Thanks, but no thanks!"

 
You get some real stubborn b******s in the military who would rather see you leave than give you a chance, good on you for sticking to your guns and not pulling your termination out, do you regret getting out I don't at all I just miss my mates.

 
I going 1998 and got out 2001. I think the start of it was the Sergeant on the tour didn't like the fact I didn't want nothing to do with our lads. I had no ambition to mince round, playing playstation games and bitching and whining. I preferred getting beasted with the Marines. This was frowned upon. Don't get me wrong the P.T.I.'s in the Marines wanted to show the '**** hat' what their way of life was all about.

When I got back to my unit I think my cards had been marked. I applied to do the P.R.M.C. as soon as I got back and passed, I met up with the Marines and did a few bits with them and let them know how I got on with things. When I spoke to my O.C. about going to Lympston he told me that my Regiment was under manned. But we needed 2 squadrons and had 3! a whole extra squadron but where under manned.

When I got out I got a letter off my O.C. saying I looked for the earliest opportunity to get out of the forces. I applied for the marines on civvy street but got knocked back by the M.O.D. and took it in to show the marines in the careers office. Not one recruiter had seen an application refused by the MO.D. I then applied for the Army to join as a combat engineer in the Royal Engineers and got a date to go to training. I then got a phone call from Scotland inviting me to the selection centre in Scotland, which I thought was weird as my local selection centre was Lichfield so I questioned it and they said my O.C. had written something in my discharge paperwork so if I re-enlisted I should be closely observed by the M.O.D. so I turned it down and carried on cleaning windows.

I feel like I have unfinished things in the Army i.e. the all arms course but I don't miss it although when I go on facebook and see my mates with 3 stripes I think "what if?"
