Fine, then they can do 3 months at Her Majesty's Pleasure and hand back some of their redundacy payment as a fine. Really, redundancy was a known deal when we signed up (it's detailed under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme) and also the Reserve liability was in the small print for attestation or commissioning TACOS - it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone unless they have been in total denial. For most people we have all been through at least 1 redundancy round in the past as well.
P!ssed off, or not, it's something we all signed up to in the past and will just have to live with it.
