After reading all this nonsense - even if it may just be merely a reduction in promotions rather than a complete cut - I am so glad that I left 2 years ago! I served for 28 years and left as a Lt Cdr with 14 years seniority and lots of empty promises - and now it is just getting worse. The only way I was ever going to be promoted Captain was to leave the Mob - and I acheived that as I walked into civvy street. I am sorry to say that this is going to cause alot of grief down the line where there will be a big gap in experience as people leave - it is a sorry state when MOD cannot afford to make people redundant and have to resort to this underhand policy!
