Ted,
The LSL gravy train of jobs for the boys doesn't really exist much more. VENG has taken over, all those currently in the initial 2 years of LSL will probably be very lucky to be kept on. An 'Old Timer' friend of mine has been told that he wil have to apply for VENG in order to stay on. If you have something they want or need they will keep you.
Between you and me old boy, the way to go it NRPS, now that is money for old rope. You keep your full pension and graturity, Full pay of employed rank minus X-Factor, and if you plump the right job you're looking at a 4 day working week, Civy in uniform and all that.
But keep that to yourself or everyone will be wanting a piece of the pie
