Admiral Boyce - is he quitting?

Daily mail reports that Boyce is going early in protest at Government spending plans + also over SHAR fiasco.

Is it me or is there something seriously rotten in Whitehall right now? The two most senior RN Officers have quit (1SL + CDS) over the SHAR and defence cuts, and yet the media continues to ignore this. When was the last time we had senior officers resigining like this? Come on you media types, pick this story up and run with it!

More seriously for the RAF the DM article suggests that Gen Walker will be next CDS - meaning that RAF is going to have gone a very very long time without producing a CDS.
