Always A- High for me seemed to work quite nicely!
Anyway, back on thread. Seeing as there are £10k 'Golden Hellos' for joining the RAuxAF and £2k for TG4 ICT techs, are we going to see anything else in the Armed Forces Pay Review Body Report this year in light of these declining figures? Also, there was the FRIs introduced for Petty Officer Techs:

The most telling lines in the above letter are "
Why were redundancies made in this cadre when MOD knew the staffing situation was so critical? MOD should make attempts to encourage engineering personnel who were made redundant from all Services to return. There is a national shortage of engineers and the pull-factors to the private sector for Service personnel are strong." And "
MOD will need to use more long-term, strategic solutions such as Golden Hellos and possibly Recruitment and Retention Pay to maintain satisfactory staffing levels."
Also, on the AFPRB, seeing as the Govt will be going into 'purdah' by the end of Feb 15 for the May 15 General Election, will we see the report earlier this year?
