A complete disgrace along with Pay 2000, pay as you dine, reduction of LOA and a raft of other entitlements.
There is NO MONEY to build new and probably none to continue current arrangements. If the MOD can get everyone out of quarters and charge 'market rates' for Single Living Accommodation then they will save a packet, which will go towards filling that black hole. Don't kid yourselves that things will improve.
Look on the bright side, someone somewhere got promoted or a MBE for proposing/driving through these changes. I remember having a 'firm debate' with a senior type some years ago about pay as you dine and the obligation to ensure our men had a proper diet. Of course he did not get it, he having a private income and a large estate somewhere in the shires.
Despite the efforts of some to make a difference, the MOD as an organisation does not care anymore. It has only 1 objective and that is to reduce the deficit as quickly as possible and hopefully without any loss of life/embarrassments.
Merry Xmas everyone.
