5 Forward 6 back is correct.
I also believe that HM forces should be paid more generally for what they do (vice their MOD pen pushing collegues, all 65000 of them!)
So if they happen to be top heavy so what! Enjoy the better pay so that one day everyone can move up the Ranks.
I left after 16 years and took a 25% pay increase with little responcibilty( compared to the Airforce life) and now only work 15 days a month!
off to the golf course again.....
