No More Free Food!!
Another nail in the coffin...When you go on a course or det in the UK you'll have to pay for your food.....
"With effect from 1 July 2007 - The current entitlement to free meals at public expense for up to 30 days for Service personnel on Detached Duty/Temporary Assignments who do not normally incur a Daily Food Charge (Unaccompanied Food Charge (UFC) and SFC) at their permanent duty station will be removed. This will also apply from 1 July 2007 for those already on Detached Duty/Temporary Assignments. Personnel will be required to pay for the meals they take in a PAYD unit. In a non-PAYD unit the Daily Food Charge (SFC or UFC) will be levied direct from pay for those classed as ‘living in’ i.e. provided with Single Living Accommodation for the duration of Temporary Assignment; all other personnel will pay the appropriate ECMC for any meals taken"
What next???
