I do feel as though this 'benefits' package is over-inflated. For example, the price I pay for my Quarter is about market rate. Nobody in civvie street would pay any more for this wreck(and thats before DHE/MHS are brought into the equation). The gyms on the previous 3 stations I've been on have been just about adequate but certainly not of the JJB/ David Lloyd etc standard. Most civvie compabies offer private health care for their employees and their families. All this and as everyone keeps saying, the civvie doesn't have to do lots of time away from home and get shot at!
