When I said 'bite of the cherry' I was referring to equal availability to such 'perks' across all areas. I have no idea how much such a 'perk' as mentioned would cost if paid for outside as part of the licensing process. If the value of that was made available to the troops, I'd see it as more equal. I'm sure it is a couple of quid and possibly more than anyone else gets as part of their resettlement after 22 yrs service.
