Guess the recommended % increase.
I make an uneducated but cynical guess it will be around just less than a 1 % increase.
Price Waterhouse Coopers website say the UK economy is showing positive growth trends, and we could be the 5th largest economy in the world, overtaking France.
But of course this is all relative.
Inflation was 1.5% in August....
I met some of the AFPRB once, decent enough people, high achievers etc.
Thing is HM Forces are just taken for granted, they have no political clout to punch with, most are quite young and green, don't vote, cant strike and can be bossed around at will.
When you wise up a bit (30 something plus in my feeble admittance) its too late
Its not hard to figure how it will go.
I wish more serving people (my old mates, what's left in) would simply tell their bosses to go forth and multiply, and then leave, to be honest.
Believe me there are jobs and roles and better pay and treatment outside for every single last one of you reading this if you are minded to leave.
