TLDR: They have valuable skills and Stryker paid €30K to the Defense Forces for each of five recruits to break their contracts at the end of their training.
Naval Service in particular is circling the drain.
Hard to blame them. Pay and condition aren’t great throughout the DF and depending on your unit you can learn skills which are quite valuable in the private sector, especially in the navy and air corp.
Speaks volumes IMO that private employers would buy out DF contracts outright. That can cost a fair bit of money.
They got an invite to Christmas party
The old pension 21 years might be harder to walk away from now you better off in private sector.
