LOA Cut Again
I've just been informed that my LOA has been cut again.
Less of a cut this time, so clearly that is just fine.
The point I am making is this. If you are offered an overseas 'sunshine tour', do your maths very carefully. With the combined effect of selling cars at a loss before I had any intention of doing so, my wife not working, increased cost of living, insurance costs with no no-claims, loss of credit rating, cost of flights back home to see our son and many other factors, we have spent all our buffer zone money and a great deal more by year 2 of a 3 year tour.
My posting has cost me an awful lot of money and I am not alone. Be advised.
