I feel discriminated against as we are living together but not married.
Maybe you do Binky, but you shouldn't do on the grounds of the short notice posting or the ignoring of your partners' wishes. I'm married accompanied. My last posting came at 3 weeks' notice and the one before that was even less. Last time, I managed to get the family moved with me (moved on the Fri, started work on Mon), but the time before took 6 weeks to arrange their move after I had started at the opposite end of the country. Each time, the wife has had to abandon her employment and start the round of job hunting again at the new location. In this way, you are not being discriminated against - we really are all treated at least as badly... Always try to look on the bright side - not only would it have been much worse in the 60s, but it would be much worse now if your other half was not aircrew, as he could expect to be subjected many more frequent moves as a ground pounder than the average aircrew mate. (Or should that be mean aircrew mate? Stats always bored me silly.)
