Quote: While it's a cack situation for those being shown the door who didn't want to go, if you think the military is treating people badly, try finding another employer that would sack people but give them a year's notice and a 9 month salary tax free lump sum.
(with the very significant acknowledgement that you're unlikely to find another employer that might ask you to die for them!)
While (mainly in the lower ranks) expecting you to carry on working for a great deal of that notice period as if nothing had happened whilst preparing to throw your wife and family out of your MQ. It happened in previous tranches! I feel for one and all of them.
