‘My trade (TG4) no longer does any of the practical work that I signed up for. We instead have to escort contractors around camp who then carry out the work our trade is supposed to do; It is extremely frustrating and disappointing that my trade rarely does any of the things advertised by the AFCOs.’
‘The salary paid by the MOD is not competitive with what is available in civilian industry. The pension incentive has now gone.’
‘The erosion of benefits, having my commitment bonus halved without notice or explanation, the fact that I will not receive an incremental pay rise for several years because of the new pay scales, resulting in a real terms pay cut.’
‘Although we do get good pay, the demands on what is expected is getting more and more with less and less people and we are just expected to suck it up. The accommodation is just awful and no one cares about single people in the RAF - it is all geared towards families and people with partners, if you are truly single, no one cares.’
‘Under-resourced and currently covering 4 jobs - 3 were taken as savings without any attempt to map what we are not going to do as a corresponding reduction in output. Concerns highlighted but no response, vice the direction to “innovate”.’
‘Continual reduction in the offer, making civilian employment more competitive. Changes in pension, changes in benefits and incentives. Poor promotion chances. ‘Doing more with less’ yet not providing the incentive for the people doing more.’
‘The constant erosion of the benefits associated with service life has a negative impact on my desire to serve. ‘
‘I pay for a room in the Mess whilst paying a mortgage, something that I would not have to do if I was married. This is a real sore point for single personnel, encouraged to buy private houses, but then forced to live in the Mess during the week due to service requirements away from my residential area of choice.’
