WTF I Cant bloody believe it!
 
Well in in the RAF atm. Ive not been happy for a while and put my notice in to leave yesterday. I have to give 12 months notice... tsh. This morning I get an order through saying that im going to the Falklands for a lovely 4 month detachment in 15 months...

As you can probably guess im not feeling too great about that as it will make getting a job lined up a great deal harder. Ive asked about if I will have to do it and so far they think yes but they are looking into it.

SO any advice on this from people in the know as to if I have to do it. I honestly think these two goings on are linked... A way to keep me in the RAF by making it as hard as possible to get out. I know they have recruiting and retention issues, unsuprising. :rolleyes:

Cheers,

A very down Gr33k. :(

Let me get this right, yesterday you handed in your 12 month notice.

Today, you find that in 15 months, you're supposed to be serving 4 months in the Falklands?

Surely your notice period is up before you fly off to the Falklands...:confused: Or does the RAF not work like a normal employer?

No... (reason I want out) its one BIG **** about tbh. I suspect what they will do is now make sure that I go down there within the 12 months ive got left. Issue with that obviously is being away I wont really be able to look for a job. So Ill get back get the boot out and be unemployed. Brilliant. :rolleyes:

~What Baph said was what I was thinking....in 15 months you wont be in the RAF !!! so its irrelevant.

Its not the first time I have heard of people trying to leave being given falklands duty.....must be some kind of punishment in the forces being sent there....I would love it lol
