You arent alone matey, we have a bit of a problem with PVR'ing at our place.

There are so many people banging ooot.

However there are a few loopholes. If you can start hunting for a job and find one which wants to take you on straight away, you can stick in a gen-app and apply to leave earlier than your 12 month point. It can be refused but it is an option.

Also if your JPA notification went through and was approved before your DWR notification came up, I would'nt worry about it too much. If that isnt the case have you thought about trying to swap with someone on an earlier DWR. Not ideal but atleast its 4 months of your 12 doing relatively flip all and you can save a bit of money.

Just a few ideas. HTH

Mate, the one thing's got nothing to do with the other! I know it's hard to believe but the RAF plans its life a bit more than 12 months in advance so your deployment will have been in the pipeline long before you rapped your tits in. It's coincidence is what it is.

So, keep your teeth clean, do all the resettlement courses you can, enjoy your terminal leave and get one of your oppos to send you a postcard in 15 months time.

(Oh, but don't take the Org's word for it, talk to one of them officer types. Unless you are one of course, in which case God help us all!)

I have 3 mates in at present and all 3 of them are thinking of leaving the RAF in the next year or so. Only one of them has postponed this as he's currently out in Vegas living it up. One is due out at the end of the year.

Greek what you gonna do if you leave?

JPA the best screw up computer system known to man!!!!

If you end up going to the Falklands just remember that you can't do any resettlement when you are there (i think)

When are you supposed to be going down south?

If you go I'll probably see you there - reserve Sept 08 LTA Jan 09.

IT/communicatins... what i wanted to do when i joined the RAF... But most of the jobs (that I want to do) have gone Civvy so I dont want to be in anymore... Thats the main reason anyway.

Might have a look into BT or that sort of thing, maybe network installation type jobs.

Well at the moment I work in a comcen stamping paper. Greatest job in the world...

WSO should be good for you, you get good pay Sgt + flying pay and if you like the desert and the middle east you'll be fine.

Stamping pieces of paper... signals. Thats pretty much it. Not a hard job but with minus job satisfaction. Its soooo depressing finishing at 8pm and not being able to do anything because everything is closed and the nearest drinking hole is a good 25 mins drive...

Sigh.
