Would you mind awfully explaining that to my Colonel. He has decreed 'No MTD, No Subsistance, No MMA'

Personally I'm going regardless of cost, but I do know of one or two Pte's who do not have the income.

And how is retention in your unit? FFS, you would honestly believe that MTDs came from their own pocket sometimes.

I'll tell him he is a tosspot. Which unit are you in?

MTDs seem fair but for T&S see JSP752 (sorry to be the bearer of bad news - you will find you are invited not ordered to attend - been there done that!):

04.0123. Investitures and Royal Garden Parties. The cost of travel to attend an investiture or presentation for the purpose of receiving an award not earned in a military capacity, or to attend a garden party, is not to be borne by public funds unless the Service person is ordered to attend as a military duty. When an award has been earned in a military capacity, however, travel at public expense to attend an investiture or presentation is admissible as follows:

INELIGIBILITY

03.0115. Ineligible Personnel. Subsistence is not payable in the following circumstances:

n. When Service personnel attend Garden Parties

I think you'll find that for all of TA 100 the decision is that no MTDs can be claimed for 'social' events. I believe that a GP is a 'social event'.

I am sorry if that is the decision that your unit are sticking with. I honestly think it is wrong. As I said earlier, I have seen instrutions relating to MTD pools and travel for TA10, and specifically for the RGP. I will stick with my interpretation and pay the blokes, thanks.

Duke,

Paying the blokes is fine but T&S is directly against current regulations!!!

Sorry - this is not my units view - it's the direction from the TA100 Working Group, DIGTA and the Divs!

Crack on and do what you must but don't shoot the messenger...
