Just been looking at this
https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...port_oct14.pdf
It looks like we are well ahead of the curve to achieve Future Force 2020. I would say we are about 4 years ahead and well past the Interim Force 2015 goals. Looking at the reduction curve, it looks like we'll undershoot next year.
Seeing as we seem to be offering FRIs to lots of different branches and 'golden hellos' to TG4 and Reserves - anyone care to speculate on next year's pay deal and terms of service?
I'm hearing on the jungle drums of an increase in FTRS contract lengths (maybe double their current lengths) and also Home to Duty payments to them as well.
It is after all, a Rumour Network!
