Guys can you take your squabble about CS bonuses to a new thread please and stop diluting the impact that this enormous change to all of terms and conditions would otherwise have?
This is precisely the sort of change that saves pennies and changes the face of the Forces forever. Never mind trying to keep experienced people in, why on earth would anyone join these days is starting to beggar belief. PAYD, DII are just 2 of the ducks nibbling us to death today and now you want to evict us, stump up circa £1500 a month to find equivalent Accn and with no accompanying increase in pay, do Fu@£ off! We need some active representation in parliament pronto or this will kill HM Forces in the long term...
