ExMilRedundancy
I was unaware that FTE was initially that much more expensive. Way back in the thread somebody did a cost calculation factoring everything in and FTE turned out to be £3000 cheaper. That's good if you can get a extra lump on the loan for living expenses, with a fairly secure job offer, the loan doesn't seem risky. Of course there are any number of unforeseen circumstances to consider. Thanks for the reply.
