Just a few observations.
1. I wholeheartedly agree that people want the best education for their kids and if the RAF/MOD is willing to pay to help that then brilliant - take advantage of it but you cannot rely on it being there forever.
2. If people decide to leave over this, they will still have to find money to keep their kids in the 'good' school.
3. If people refuse to take up an assignment, then we currently have an excess of people in the RAF in particular and the DO will be able to find a person willing to take the posting and the one who refuses may find themselves on the redundancy list.
Frustrated....
