Re: Pay troops more, Army head urges

Quickest & non inflationary rise they could give is to stop charging for Food & Accommodation. When Hubby was in the services any pay rise they got was usually wiped out by increases in the cost of food & accommodation.

Given that they mostly have no choice about where they live and no kitchen facilities this is a pernicious charge which should be dropped ASAP.
