What's the fuss
Seeing this is my first post I might as well jump in the deep end.
As a humble (ex) stacker I can't see what the problem is. Since leaving the service I have put my publicly funded skills to good use by utilising them to earn the money to help pay my daughter's university fees.
As long as the proper authorisation is obtained and due propriety is maintained, does it really matter what one particular person does to enhance their employment prospects in civilian life?
The system is there to be worked (legitimately) so what is wrong if someone applies the rules in an imaginative and flexible manner.
