Can't even access it! Several of us in the office tried but get knocked back saying we're not included in their quota.
I contacted them and they said there was a problems but don't know how to fix it!
Oh well, there has been a tick in a box somewhere.
Awaiting a call from the Internet Police now.

Minimum 3 year posting is at odds with this change.

I have managed to complete the survey. If you have a service number that begins with a letter try using a capital, it was the only way it would work for me!
On paper it looks appealing, however after the PAYD disappointment I am not convinced this is the way forward. Unless you have property for rent near MOD camps then you could be quids in! You only have to look at the rental prices at Brize to see the locals have cashed in on the lack of MOD housing.
I would not have liked to be a singly on 1st post with this in place, I imagine it will ruin what sense of community we have left, isolating families from support measures and increasing the mental health problems face by some.
But if you are in you last 5 years of service it would be a god send, £2000 per year towards your mortgage!
If MOD are going to help people buy their own home near camps They need to have a rethink of the 3 year minimum post rule. Most families will cope with 18 months apart but a minimum of 3 years is a long time! So families are less likely to use the married unaccompanied option, and will rent their house out and rent at a discounted rate through MOD at the new camp. So it could easily be a cost saving measure which doesn't save money at all!!!

Future Accommodation Model 2016 Main Report
Seems like if you say to someone "Would you rather pay market rate for SFA, or pay the same for your own house?", most people want to own their own house! Who'd have thought!?
Thoroughly depressing reading. That's the green light they were after, wave goodbye to SFA as we know it.

'They' want you to buy near to where one of you came from then have the servicemen be at his posting during the week (travelling at his own expense, living in a mess (at his own expense) and getting rid of the duty of care on things like crèches, Hive's, Wives Clubs whilst ensuring when the other halfs do have a melt down whilst you're on det there will be family and friends to deal with it rather than a station born solution.

Which is very interesting if you look at it in combination with the Flexible Duties Trial.

It's not just the block or the qtr now
It's not just the block or the qtr now
I've heard this a little too recently, and yet again this week.
LSA has it's head in the blocks, with a cica 50% reduction on the horizon. I don't believe it, but it keeps being raised by those that know better.
LSA is for those that do their stuff away from home, but I can't help but feel that it is nobody but a coward that would entertain such a divisive cut becuase someone with a calculator say so.
Any others hearing this sh1t?

Read a bit of that but it made my eyes bleed. Money saver, but I'll bet the air ranks still keep their chefs, stewards, beer (entertainment) allowance etc etc. Beats me what the incentive is to stay in anymore..

There might be a new accommodation model but its still running the same old heating system in the same old accommodation.

It just struck me that in the early 90's I read articles about how lack of investment by the Kremlin caused Russian sailors accommodation to become almost uninhabitable with a lack of heating, hot water and power. It's not got as bad as their lot yet as we haven't parked a Kirov nuclear powered cruiser on a quay next to the accommodation them run power cables from on-board power supplies to the blocks nor collecting nettles for soup outside the base gates but we are on a slippy incline towards our own version...
