TW,
Agreed the Army are in for the 30k, but the word on the street was that the GOPS pay decision would not be purple - it's the only hope we have for arguing a decent case, if the army are involved it just deteriorates into an argument and we achieve nothing, and neither do they. As to the truth in that rumour - who knows.
I see the steady stream of interviews in HK and the like continues, 12 month ROSO means nothing for most with LSL and a bag of leave remaining, can still be out with 16k in the back pocket middle of the year.
