Non stick pan from @lecreuset with a lifetime guarantee, when I highlighted the issue of the pan degrading I had no response from the customer support team. Very poor customer service for a company marketing its products with a so called ‘lifetime guarantee’.

@thinkdefence @RALee85 Probably written by poorly informed types. They are a formidable asset to a Battle Group.

Sweden is now a NATO member. Thank you all Allies for welcoming us as the 32nd member. We will strive for unity, solidarity and burden-sharing, and will fully adhere to the Washington Treaty values: freedom, democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law. Stronger together.

[Jens Stoltenberg @jensstoltenberg]

It’s official – #Sweden is now the 32nd member of #NATO, taking its rightful place at our table. Sweden’s accession makes NATO stronger, Sweden safer, and the whole Alliance more secure. I look forward to raising their flag at NATO HQ on Monday.

@dicko120 @matelotphil @haynesdeborah Doesn’t make it even at all. I payed for accommodation for 17 years, this was an accepted part of it (over 37) I suppose you think there should be no perks to committing to service. I have been married for most of that time too. All this is is an erosion of what I signed up to.

@dicko120 @matelotphil @haynesdeborah The offset isnt even half my SLA. I am just over 37 (Army) and have weekly commuted for 6 yrs. Was quite nice to get into the bracket of not having to pay both a mortgage and for SLA. Now (with 125 a month) I still pay 1900 a year for a room at work. Evens the field for who?

A @RoyalNavy couple say they were plunged into debt after a ceiling collapsed at their military home.

Forces families are resorting to shaming the MOD's Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) and private contractors on social media to get them to carry out necessary repairs.

[B R H @thefirstrb]

@DefencePeople @savvy_squaddie Improvements?? I didn’t have to pay for SLA and now I do- not sure I see this as an improvement.

[B R H @thefirstrb]

@DefencePeople @MilitaryBanter The internal information flow is not there. In the space of a month I have discovered food and accommodation changes are happening on Social Media. We (Defence) seem able to use e mail for ‘all staff messages’ but not for the important stuff such as changes to T&S.

DragonFire is an advanced military laser, being developed by @dstlmod and 🇬🇧 industry.

The laser-directed energy weapon engages targets at the speed of light, using an intense beam of energy to cut through objects, leading to structural failure.
