Off topic but ZH875 your comment: If we are paid 24/7, why are the government allowed to pay us well below the minimum wage, as only a Level 4 Major and above are paid a legal wage.
If you work 12 hour shifts, 7 days a week, 52 weeks in the year at minimum wage (5.35 for 22 years old an above) you will earn £23,348 every one from a Level 1 Cpl up wards gets more than this.
For those 18 - 22 this equates to £19,491 which equates to JT/SAC level 7 up.
