Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you mean by family support incentives and better education. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

Background
Military life places extraordinary demands on individuals and families. By increasing pay and offering meaningful, tax-free benefits, the services can remain competitive in a modern labour market, enhance morale, and retain experienced personnel.
If you offered, the benefits Troops had in Germany when based there, to UK based Troops, you would fix the loss of experience, you would fix alot of welfare issues and solve the recruitment crisis the services are experiencing.
