“Last year we moved for the 7th time in 11 years. My house is horrible - it is damp, badly decorated and old. My children are being threatened with having their stable education taken away. Am I shouting and screaming - no because what is the point - the government do not care and the MOD is bust." Reaction from Army family after news of more defence cuts.

Drastic reductions to the size of the Army have been met with utter dismay by families and Service personnel. AFF is committed to communicating your views and concerns to Army leaders and the Government. Please use the feedback form to let us know your views.

Julie McCarthy, Chief Executive AFF will see Chief of the Defence Staff, General Sir Peter Wall on Thursday 28 July. We need you to tell us exactly what you think. We are independent and confidential and give you the opportunity to feed in your views to the very top of the chain of command. Comments like the one above allow us to say it how it is.

The long awaited news on the Ministerial Review into Continuity of Education Allowance has still not been released. Be assured that if the Army could let you know more they would. If you are angered by this lack of information then write to your MP as the decision not to release the result is being stalled by Downing Street.

Tell us what you think of redundancies, allowance cuts, pension cuts, rebasing from Germany and the lack of news of CEA. AFF invites you to say it how it is at our autumn roadshows where our Chief Executive and Army leaders want to know exactly how you feel about the cuts.
