Pay Award!
Just heard the latest from the BBC the Armed Forces are due to receive 3.2%. Personally, as shortly-to-be-deployed aircrew I'd like more than that. Those that 'fly and fight' should get the majority of any increase, and the desk-flying blotter-jotters should get what's left. Or how about 2% and tax-free pay when we're overseas or even a 40% fireman-style claim?
