    Payroll hack

    So my letter states 'you are potentially one of a small number of veterans who may be affected' It seems to be more than a small number! I've only been out a month and not received any payment since leaving. It then also says I may be effected if I received an expense claim since 2018..... Is...

    TG1 goodbye Chf Tech

    Or maybe TG1 have spoken to their personnel and asked them what they feel is needed to improve the profession and yes, might improve retention. Who knows, if the proposal is accepted and successful that it's not rolled out across the RAF?

    UK or Abroad

    We have just got back from 5 days in Prague. Stayed near the Palace/Castle which was a great location. Lots to do and weather was great. It's strange to go to a place where in a bar/restaurant. Tap water is more expensive than a pint of beer. The restaurants and bars are probably about 20% more...

    More reductions

    Not rumour, is being introduced and will be coming to a region near you in the not too distant future! Numbers within the hubs will no doubt see a reduction in the numbers of HR personnel and a 'your call is important to us' call holding system!!

    Army to RAF Transfer

    Try talking to the Engineering branch (AS) trade advisor (you can find their details on Modnet). They will give you an idea about what they are likely to agree to. There is the Commissioned Warrant Officers scheme but that is normally for personnel at OR9 level. I am aware of a REME chap who...

    swinderby early 80's

    I joined 86. Then you had to wear one of the old dyno-tape name badges when in the 'Newcomers Club' and if you were over 18, there were green tags on the end of it. (Or green tags if under 18 can't remember which way round it was).

    Court Martial Results 2019

    No, it's not a breach as all Court listings (including Courts Martial) are open source information. They are listed on the entrance to every court. CM listings of upcoming cases are on the MoD website and include rank, name and service number. It's exactly the same as a newspaper listing all...

    Anyone on Furlough?

    A genuine question as I don't know, I'm not working from home so just interested. If you do WFH are you able to claim for electricity/internet (or is mobile data supplied) office furniture if you need it, lockable cabinets if required for data protection etc? If you are self employed all tax...

    Coppers - How are they doing?

    I can't disagree with everything that has been said so far. I witnessed another perspective the other day whilst I was waiting to collect a hire car. The hire rep was being extremely polite to this chap, but questioned the condition of the driving licence he had been given. He asked the customer...

    Techie bonus

    So playing a bit of devils advocate, what about the software specialist (and I'm not one) who writes the software code/programme for say a self defence suite that in a hostile environment stops that aircraft getting shot down. Is it right that they get paid less?

    F35 fuel temperature problem?

    So the USAF have painted some of their fuel bowser's white to keep the fuel temperature down as the F35 has a fuel temperature threshold. I've done many a refuel but never heard of anything similar, surely this will drastically limit the environment it can operate in? Now it doesn't say what...
