With the way things are going now, what with JPA, Capped Actuals, overstretch with both men and equipment, low morale, is it no wonder that so many people are so p155ed off and going off out the door?
What used to be the detachments overseas, the long hours working, but then a bit of R+R. This has all gone now. All that is left is heading East, trying to make the best of what equipment you are given, to try and help stabilise other countries,which by the way seems not much further forward considering Telic was nearly 3 yrs ago now!
It is time for people to start acting with their feet, which indeed they are! Why should we remain in the Forces when we receive absolutely no thanks or praise from both our own hierarchy high up in Westminster and the Govt?
We are paid the X Factor!! Imagine if we werent? Lucky us eh?!! It just about makes it worthwhile. Still wait for the new dets on capped actuals. The first person to say " Nah, I can't go, I have to pay my car insurance this month!" This will prove to be interesting! Why should you have to spend any of your own money doing your job? It doesn't matter where in the world you are. It should be noted that eg/ the american and aussie welfare policies compared to ours is simply embarassing!!! Lucky us though we still get our 20 min phonecard!!!
Is it any wonder in this day and age why so many people are so annoyed, and leaving? Its about time we started getting looked after a wee bit better!!
All P15H!!!
Minzastella! ( I've got a receipt for a very lge diet coke!)
