Well the current advertisement for all armed forces jobs includes the words a great pension as well as many other perks.
If they were going to get people to join up and then remove that so called perk then I would suspect it may lead government in to trouble.
The forces already have moved to the new pay scheme which pays out more at 55 rather than the pay now 75 scheme.
So I have to agree with what EdSettt says I think this is more based on the civilian sector rather than small percentage of troops who manage to get a pension after 22 years.
God knows either way we all agree it will not go down very well with everyone. I know I will be voting next election
