Trouble is that the 'continuity' they are taking about for MS is 3-5 years. That ain't settled and does not provide for continuity for children in schools (which appears to be part of the point of this). So, all you will have is a pissed off cadre who know they won't get promoted and will get all the sh!te jobs....don't forget the CinC and CDS value us (we have been told over the past 2 days....)!
