Not permanently is my understanding. I think you get a certain number of years to live in? I think the rest of us livers out are being bought off with the remaining budget. Will put a lot of junior ranks in Oxfordshire and the home counties in a very difficult position in terms of living arrangements. As stated by BV, you have to do your own sums and make your own decisions, factoring in the thrill of military life, excellent mukkas and fantastic memories.

However, you can't deny there are issues with the on-going pay freeze and lack of retention incentives for the more experienced , who despite wanting to stay on, for loyalty to the family when the whole package is considered, cannot see how they can justify an extention to TOS when the financial impact is as severe as it is.
