Please reformat this with inline references. You put the references actually in the body text, and the system will automatically put a small numbered link like [1] in the references section. For example;
Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>
I have added that code below, to show how it works;
Chzz is 98 years old.[1]
He likes tea. [2]
Wikilinks
Note: To link to other wikipedia articles, do not use the full address; instead, just put double square brackets around the word to link. For example, putting I like in [[England]] produces: I like in England.
You can also link when the text differs from the article title, like this: I am a [[Dentistry|dentist]]. produces: I am a dentist.
Please try to reformat the article in this way. If you have problems, you can get help, here.

ForceSelect [3] is a recruitment consultancy, mentoring service and charitable Foundation aimed at supporting military service leavers and small military charities across the UK.
It was founded in 2009 by former Army captain Hugh Andrée.[4]
Other directors include former chief of the general staff General Sir Mike Jackson, bestselling author Andy McNab and former Royal Artillery officer Lucy Wood.
All recruitment staff are ex-services and partner organisations include British Gas, Sainsbury's and UPS and it was named one of the brightest new organisations of 2010 by a business survey. [5]
The Ministry of Defence has given its support to ForceSelect, recognising the work it does to support military service leavers who are looking for a new career on civvy street.
ForceSelect founder Hugh Andrée grilled UK Chancellor George Osborne on October 6 2010 at the Conservative Party Conference about the need to support military service leavers in the UK. [6]
The ForceSelect Foundation [7] aims to raise funds to support smaller military charities that are struggling for funds.
Among the Trustees are General Sir Mike Jackson [[Mike_Jackson]] [8], Dame Kelly Holmes [9], Rebekah Brooks. Sir John Rose and Stephen Morris.
The ForceSelect Foundation gets its income from a percentage of the profits from the ForceSelect recruitment business as well as a wide range of fundraising activities, such as a collaboration with Lionsgate films for the UK premiere of The Expendables in August 2010.[10]
Military charities across the UK are invited to apply for grants which are awarded by the Board of trustees twice a year.
