3BB, it's not good. It would be easy for folk to believe that Service Personnel are simply subject to the same "restraint" that everyone else has to put up with in order to fix the Economy. But that would be ignoring the erosion of all the other, very important factors that were supposed to help compensate for the Service issues: housing, separation, etc. The fact that they have been "eroded" too doesn't seem to figure in the analysis. Wonderfully convenient.
