Career & service
Pay, postings and what’s next
I’ve Been Promoted
Your new net take-home at LCpl, Cpl or Sgt, a pay-rise allocator, a tax-threshold checker and a lifestyle-inflation warning so the rise actually counts.
I’m Going on Deployment

An AFPS 15 sign-off calculator (pension now vs EDP), a leaving-payments timeline and a 12-month pre-exit checklist. Non-directive — it shows you the numbers; the decision stays yours.
