I don't know how this sits with me really...Not regulars, not reservists but a new class of 'Service Person' who doesn't do the fitness test, doesn't do GDT, can do up to 180 days a year but is on a zero hour contract and I believe when they do turn in they get paid more than a real reserve? So they could work half a year without any of the high bars passed that others working shoulder to shoulder to them have to go through? If so why bother for the rest of you?
If this expands would anyone else go for this at the Southern bases?

A NEW EMPLOYMENT TRIAL for ex-regular RAF personnel has seen its first intake being brought forward this month.
RAF Lossiemouth is piloting a new Base Support Group (BSG) scheme which was launched for a trial run in February this year and will run for at least two years.
The scheme offers former RAF men and women part-time employment as volunteer ex-Regular Reserves at participating bases, of which Moray base is one. Following the announcement of the scheme, RAF Lossiemouth received enquiries from nearly 130 personnel from throughout Scotland.
