Don't have the figures in front of me but the Sgt rate was approx £3 and I believe the Sqn Ldr rate is the same. I appreciate we probably don't have many personnel left in Germany and those that are there are due home very soon but £3 loa a day is an insult and those that are there must be glad to be coming home.
In addition to the list of enhancements to the overseas offer I forgot this gem:
You can now have a 4 month advance of pay on an overseas posting but this still has to be paid back in a year and if it adds up to more than £10000 you'll get stung by the tax man. By doing this MOD are kind of admitting that the set up costs for moving overseas are at least 4 months net pay but they're not prepared to meet this cost, they'd rather personnel put themselves in debt and struggle for the first year.
