Getting back on track. Now that it has been reported over the last two weeks in a variety of journals that defence cuts in varying forms are on the cards, the Army being told that it is expected to wind up 10 regiments so that it can lose 9000 personnel for example, Typhoon order being cut to around 143 ac, Type 45 destroyers going from 12 to 10 and so on and so forth, what do we all reckon to personnel redundancies?
I for one can't see it, there should be enough natural wastage to easily account for any manpower cuts, but if there is an expected reduction overall of 11000 people they might not achieve that figure in the required timescale.
I'm just about to PVR, makes me wonder whether it might be worth waiting for the white paper to be published before I sign any paperwork. One thing I do know, if the MoD did have a redundancy programme, and my trade (FOM) was included, I suspect the the trade would pretty much cease to exist.
