It was always gonna happen.
There was so much changing, tours were drying up, they changed the promotion system, they changed the pension, they stopped the pay rise, they cut back on training exercises
They contracted out a lot of the work (chefs, transport, training) The cook houses became a money making scheme.
One of the main reasons I left was because they changed my pension. I signed up and was offered a pension after my 22 years. 14 years in and they decided to change that. Regardless of the time served the pension wasn’t gonna be given until I was 65.
I was only 9 years away from reaching my pension so being paid less than my civilian counter parts was ok in my mind because I was so close to getting my reward. To then have it taken away from me was insulting.
You maybe able to challenge that soon due to the latest ruling on pensions, btw. Forcing everyone on to the 15 scheme could be classed as unlawful.
