So, as of today:
1. AFPS15
2. Pay reforms under NEM
3. An SDSR that brought us lots of shiney kit, but nothing for the people
4. Big changes in recruitment, Fg Trg and IOT (again)
5. A strong possibility of returning to Iraq for the 3rd time in recent years
But mostly:
6. A legal microscope cast over every single act we conduct during war fighting/conflict.....will 'honest belief' cut the mustard anymore?
Hence my question; is it all really worth it now? Are people really leaving in droves or is everyone all mouth and only planning to leave? For me, the job still brings adventure, a feeling of making a difference and experiences I will never get elsewhere, so I'm staying and still enjoying even if it does leave a slightly sour taste in my mouth now. But... I am closer than ever to saying 'enough is enough' and that worries me. What will come next?
Ps a big BZ to the soldiers who are stepping up to cover the Junior Doctors strike, yet again Britain relies on its armed forces in times of strikes!
