And if you truly have no dependents and want to retire and are of age you can apply for the chelsea pensioners

Not only that but if you left on good terms as I did you can lean into them for some really good references

Like my first reference is my old boss an RMO (regimental medical officer)

Theres even housing perks, also were a protected class as well <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

Lots of benefits to military tbh, but I will always say ask around before going in, know what you want to go for, and expect that your first unit and few years might be shit

Honestly I just want to go backpacking around the world now, and then I might do some contracting, otherwise i'm going to be jesus and do carpentry

My understanding is that there are a ton of benefits, but a lot of sacrifices as well.

Well yea me and my ex broke up because of the distance and me always being away

you will miss christmases, birthdays, and possibly other events

you will also fall out with a lot of your previous friends, because you will see things from an insiders perspective tbh, especially if they went college or uni 🤔

I have a lot of respect for the military. Bit jealous of some of the benefits though.

Like I said I left at the start of December, i've had about 6 letters from the military and organisations telling me what i'm entitled too and wishing me all the best <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

Gotta make the most of it.

Long distance relationships never work

Lies

The Falklands

Lmao

guardian opinion is "imploring people to stop using private healthcare"

"pls millionaires and well off people! stop using your private healthcare and leech off the state"

guardian opinion is poop

To be fair that is the exact argument they should be making

The NHS is a requirement for the poor as clearly evidenced by the rich not using it

their argument is that nhs staff are moving over to private healthcare facilities

Which is half true

As they should be

Because private healthcare is better for staff and patients

Private sector nurses are worse off though

And doctors are dependent

Not sure about that.

at the end of the day.. if more people use private.. they are still paying into the system... so theres less strain on the NHS but the same money going in

They have better wages by far.

Also emergency services are still NHS controlled

Nurses definitely don't

They do, it's why nurses are leaving to go private.

They aren't though

They are though.

I dunno about the wages... but the benefits will be better.. i.e better pension

They try it and then they go back to the NHS

Its why they're trying to do everything they can to avoid losing nurses.
