elef Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Flashermac said:Wackypedia: " Unfortunately, India's per capita income is 100% less than British per capita income, which means the Gurkha must return to Nepal and receive only one/hundreth part of what he would have received had that clause not been there." Gurkha history The person writing that surely was sleeping during all maths hours in school, 100 % less is always ZERO. :: Rest of it shows he meant 99 % less, which also seems almost impossible. Let me guess that a soldier in the british army has a salary of 800,000 baht per year, 100 % less is 0 baht, 99 % less is 8,000 baht. If we compare with the poorest parts of Isaan - is it possible for a family to live on less than 700 baht per month? Is it even possible in Nepal? I don't trust wikipedia in future.

Flashermac Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I actually think British Army pay is crap, especially when you consider that the first thing a squaddie usually does it go out and buy his own boots, web gear etc -- because what the Army issues him is so shoddy.

khwaimaisabai Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hi dog, The nationality requirements for the army are: Nationality You must also be one of the following: A British citizen A citizen of the British dependent territories A British overseas citizen A British subject under the British Nationality Act 1981 A citizen of an independent Commonwealth country A British Protected Person A citizen of the Irish Republic Your are Australian, I believe, which (last I heard) is an independent commonwealth country - so even you are eligible! :: Khwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
