In a nutshell on the 11th & 12th January 2011, 38 SNCO's recieved their 12 months notice by a generic email. This email did not go through their respective Chain of Command (CoC), the SNCO's were told to inform their CoC. It has been said that this is yet another example of 'David Cameron's' lack of care and understanding of the armed forces. At least one of these SNCO's was serving in Afgahn at the time he recieved the email. The following link gives more details and the email that was sent out.
