Some things you said: “It has a had a very significant impact on family life… Separation combined with the long hours results in arguments and general discontentment – not a recipe for a successful marriage.”
“We are told where to live, what to do and we readily put ourselves in harm’s way. We are the contingency when disasters happen, when essential services strike and free labour to secure high profile events… It’s only right we get something in return.”
“It is understandable and we are doing our part in reducing the deficit (as long as this is shared between all government departments). However, the difficulties of Service life for families should be borne in mind as soon as pay rises can be offered again.”
“It is not a pay ‘freeze’, it is a relative pay CUT. We are working longer hours, with less people and less resources to produce a greater output and we are being paid less for the privilege.”
“Although no monetary compensation can make up for the disruption to family life caused by the nature of serving, I feel that the X-Factor is vital in helping to reco gnise the sacrifices made by personnel and their families.”
