Talking Radalt
Ginseng makes some very good points, are you are talking b***ocks!
Take the example of somebody posted to Lossie, who has kids coming up to 11-13. You have a posting notice for 3 years, but who knows what will happen after then, or where you will be? Do you put your kids into the Scottish state system, studying for Standards/Highers, only to find 3 years later, when they in the middle of important exam years, you have to move them to England, into a totally different system, with GCSEs/A-levels. Do you take the risk that you can be retoured at Lossie/Kinloss, or at least in Scotland. Alternatively do you consider boarding school as an option for continuity for your kids.
If you do elect to put them in boarding school and your next tour is at Kinloss is that your fault? Are you advocating you should then remove them from boarding school, once again disturbing their education, just because you weren't actually moved geographically. Maybe you should just get desk officers to move everyone with kids in boarding school every 3 years, to justify the paying of the allowance!!
