Why should somebody be punished if they go on a base? The simple fact is the cadets should not be entitled to any housing full stop. I bet most only joined the AOA in order to extract this housing deal at the expense of their "mates" in HK.
We're going to have the ludicrous scenario now of somebody coming back to HK for a command earning less money than a fellow captain of a similar vintage, how is that fair? Just let us keep our housing priviledge as it is, the pay rise can wait.
