How about this for a radical idea(although personally I would not like it to happen):
1 Scrap the RDF
2 Scrap the PDF
3 Scrap the Aer Corps
3 Scrap the Navy
Replace the reserve with a national service for the age group 18-21 for 6 months, with the option to do community service instead, keep a PDF Nco and slimmed down officer corps to run this, with a potential that the best of the 18-21 group being offered a chance of going forward to be an Nco or officer. Have a Coast Guard based on the American model. And no more overseas service but the option to go on courses with other EU armies. Fairly radical I know but thats how you save money, job loses........
