*obviously if they have kids the the money will have gone to them, but in my eyes if you have a family you shouldn't be out there risking their lives surely? 
How is that different to any other able bodied person on the list?
I'm not being funny but why should being in the forces bump you up the list? 
The system is out of line but not just for service men (AND WOMEN). |
Shaun, as posted previously, it's not about bumping up the list, it's about being resident in the area not counting if you are in the Forces - it is trying to make it equal.

I would like to say this about local connection points, if you do not have a local connection to the area that you are asking to live in, then you have no chance at all. However a civilian only has to live in an area for six months to get a local connection??."
