Didn't do military service but did swear an oath to the Queen and worked very closely with the military for a long number of years and in fact on occasions wore military uniform in a semi-official capacity (sort of honorary thing). Does that count? -

Not in the context of this thread with the question being "Btw, would you like to run a straw-poll on the number of ex-military there are on this forum?".
Maybe after this poll we run a more expansive one that will also include your situation, let's hope it won't be necessaryComment

Btw, would you like to run a straw-poll on the number of ex-military there are on this forum? I think you'd be surprised. But hey, don't let facts get in the way of you talking bollocks.Comment

Your own words above:
"Btw, would you like to run a straw-poll on the number of ex-military* there are on this forum? "
* - just a line above you discussed HM Forces.
I did not limit people to be British Citizens, any Gurkhas on here should feel free to vote ...
It's not a rigged poll either - unlike the one I was pleased to make for SandyComment
