Yes, interesting headline isn't it? 9.4% for the lowest ranks!. This appears to be a disgusting piece of spin, generated by assuming that the "lowest ranks" concerned are deployed on ops and therefore receiving the Operational Allowance, which has then been factored in to the calculation of their "whopping pay rise". I can see the argument, but I think it will be a case of shooting through both feet when said troops find out that their basic pay is not rising by 9.4%. But that is just my opinion!
