Transferable PODL
Just an idea.
There must be a significant number of married servicemen where one partner or the other does an Op deployment and earns a bucket of leave. Their spouse OTOH has only the standard allowance so the PODL may well be taken while the spouse is at work.
Now this might be fine for some as they can get valuable 1-1 with the children or get on with home DIY. There will be others where this extra leave is just a sop where they can't actually do anything.
What about having transferable PODL? Say 50% of the PODL to be transfered to a serving spouse post deployment. Or perhaps 30% transfered before deployment and 35% after or for the mid-tour leave ? This would increase harmonisation at no overall cost to the Service
