Throughout their careers, all Service personnel receive a 13 per cent allowance on top of their basic salaries.
Can anyone explain what this 13% refered to in the original link is? I assume it refers to the X-factor, which I thought was around 10% and included in our basic salary. Do some really think that we get the X- factor in addition to the published rates of pay? Otherwise comparisons ought to reduce our basic by 10% to compensate and show what we are really paid without the X-factor.
