Great timing, too, as with less than six months to go to the end of the fiscal year, you'll pretty much guarantee that no-one will qualify for the training bounty - which is tax-free and worth up to £1,600 for those on the top level.
That's another £2.5M...so are we witnessing the prelude or 'prep moves' of the much vaunted end of the TA? Put yourself in David Richards boots....apply resource to the war... or a hedge against uncertainty (a war) and watch another Army/Land Component capability sink.. or bin the hedge...
