Just for info when I came out on the voluntary redundancy scheme in Jan 1977 I'm pretty sure I received 15 months pay (I had 12 years commissioned service at the time). Just to amuse people, as a Flt Lt (GD) I was on around £6,000 pa, inc flying pay at the time, but bearing in mind house prices at the time, the sums involved were reasonably tempting.
Is there a current redundancy scheme within any of the armed forces?
