stop bleating
Gents,
please stop bleating
1. In the one and only time we, as a family, got LOA during a 2 year LFS tour we decided to bank the lot and try and live in the local community therefore not paying anything more than the locals, yes this did require learning the local language ( big plus in my mind) but my salary more than covered everything and a nice little nest egg. Guess it depends how you want to live when away from base.
2. Pension - it is one of the best around so zip up your collective mansuits and smile.
3. 31 years of service and 5 to go before I am removed (not by choice) I love the service and it really grips my *h1t when people bleat !!
regards
