Bastardeux,
I hope many of your friends are also working on what the MOD plans to do in the event of a "yes" vote in the Scottish referendum, which, if it were to happen, would drive a coach and horses through MOD policy for the next 10 years plus - it's called contingency planning, and it's what the military used to do all the time. Whether or not they still do so in this modern day and age...?
