PREFACE

I was inspired to write this book after attending over 100 military March Outs and consistently having to over-deliver on my promise of a guaranteed pass to my clients, both military and civilian. The Requests were always the same. Can you get me to pass? My answer, and the results were always the same, Yes, if you don’t pass the work is free. period! And I always delivered on that promise, without fail.

You see, with every single call that I got, there was this element of fear, anxiety and skepticism in the client. This led me to recognize the level of emotional torment that everyone experiences before and during a march out. In some regard, my initial guarantee of a pass to the client was for the express purpose to immediately diffuse that emotional nightmare they experienced. Not only did it work, but I noticed the change in their demeanor went from tension to relaxed. Furthermore, whenever clients had the opportunity to see the job completed, there was this instantly relinquished feeling of confidence about their whole aura, which was certainly lacking when they booked the cleaning appointment. So what had changed? Their expectations! That, in a nutshell, is why I chose to write THE MARCH OUT BOOKLET - How To Pass Your March Out 100% Guaranteed. I want to give everyone who reads it the tools to pass and the confidence that comes with this expectation.

The tenant handing over the quarter or property, whom we shall call Corporal Joe Bloggs, arrived just two minutes after I did and rushed straight into the property. His whole demeanor seemed quite tensed, his face flushed with a mixture of anxiety, fear and apprehension. A familiar expression in body language I had learned to read over a number of years attending these march outs.

There I was, sat in my van waiting on wavel road, in Zouch Estate Tidworth and watching corporal Bloggs in complete nervousness and scared shitless about the uncertainty he’s about to face within the next twenty minutes. I couldn’t help thinking to myself, he’s fucking shitting himself. Within a few seconds of opening the front door, he dashes into the lounge area, quickly glancing at the magnolia walls that used to be painted of some sort of bright disco orange and then glances at the window, as if astonished
