Wrath - all good questions and once again, those directly affected don't have the answers. Seems the whole matter is being run on a 'just-in-time' basis, i.e don't bother planning and informing those affected of possible effects of indy vote. Just leave it until it is needed. Fine as a way of demonstrating that you don't agree with the possible outcome, but not what you'd expect from a Defence force surely? Maybe if all the UK Govt departments had published their plans (if they have any) for after a yes vote, a few more nats might realise the implications for their country (not that the trivial details of planning to run an independent country seem to bother them).
