    Fitness test again

    I am in date the fitness test and pass it with ease but I am getting sick and tired of the stats nazis telling me that I have to do it again because it's out of batch testing dates. I was told tonight that if I don't pass my fitness test tomorrow then I will be subject to MAA. This is the...

    Cautioned....

    This sounds like a discussion I had a while back about 'tech charges' which also no longer exist. You can't get charged for bringing the RAF into disrepute. There is no such charge. The only thing it could possibly come under is a section 69 of the Air Force Act which is conduct to the...

    Cautioned....

    Rubbish! You will NOT be charged. A charge is a punishment and you can't be punished for the same offence twice. Formal/Informal warnings (either written or verbal) are the only course of admin action.

    Clearance from units - Post JPA

    At Leuchars there is no need for formal clearance as every single assigment order is put onto a movements roll for all to see on the Leuchars PSF webpage. If the section wants them to clear then it's the section who can do the chasing. Once the posting date comes around they then email all the...

    Allowances on Posting Urgent help Needed

    You CAN get GYH(M) for your property up here throughout your tour at Brize. It will be a massive chuck of cash but as soon as you move you can get the full rate of DA which is 1100 and odd pounds so long as you do it within the first 6 months of assignment. Just make sure you don't try and...

    Saturday afternoon Wrestling

    I had no idea that it was fake when I watched as a nipper. My mum used to tell me who was the 'goodie' and who was the 'baddie' at the beginning. If the baddie won I would go into the hallway and cry!

    Advice Needed - Shifts/Stand-downs & JPA

    Why don't you just get them to put in manual leave passes after their standown and then just chuck 'em in a PAYD unit for the time they were off? At least it will get them their food money back.

    I might owe quite a bit....

    If you have been comparing your quarter charges to your neighbours, your charges may be correct. You may have a 3 bedroomed house but are only entitled to a 2 and so only have to pay for a 2 bedroomed. Also, my old quarter was a different grade to the one I was attached to! No idea why but...

    Could somebody do me a wee favour??

    PSF staff WILL know. She can get the info from them as we need to use it all the time when writing mortgage agreement letters.

    Flt Lt Jon Minney RIP

    No words to describe how truly gutted I am. I got to know him in the Falklands too. He was a top bloke and it was a real honour to have known him. RIP big fella. My thoughts are with the family.

    Bengo's One Stop motor shop

    The website you want is www.acesales.co.uk. Have just got a Focus ST from them and they are fab. Going to use them again at the end of the year to replace our other car. Another good one is www.emctaxfree.com who will equal the price for tax free and tax paid cars and deliver a bit faster.

    what do about Retention?

    Stop getting rid of the work force and stop making 'jobs for the boys'. Not too many years ago there were over 70,000 personnel and ONE OC Eng Wg. Now we have nearly half that and apparently it now needs 2 Wg Cdrs to cope! When the RAF is supposed to be downsizing, take out the officers too...

    What is GPD?

    Sounds like you were overpaid a non-taxable allowance (GYH(M) perhaps?) or with JPA being the absolutely fantastic package that it is, it's probably a JPA error caused by nothing and robbing you blind anyway! Youe Unit HR should be able to clarify it but make sure that you take a the last few...

    Fixed Forces Rate ?

    They change so often that it is worth going into PSF and asking accounts guys.

    F.A.O Singlies and living in personnel

    I'm with SSH on this one. Why should you have to pay for 2 TV licenses when you live in during the week? Especially if you don't have anyone else living in your house while you are on camp.

    Is Smoking that anti-social?

    Congrats on giving up mono. I wish I could but I turn into a giant b1tch when I give up...... or cry a lot. And that's certainly not sociable!

    Home To Duty

    For dets/courses in UK when you are allowed (not necessarily bothered) to go home at weekends you get GYH(T) which is dependant upon how many miles away you are and again a daily rate. If it's outside the UK or you aren't allowed to come home for the weekend, you get LSA, rate dependent on how...

    22 years...

    All change..........again. Spoke to Further Service guys on Friday and they informed me that as no-one was checking their workflows, all the further service offers were stuck out there somewhere in cyberspace and it wasn't working. I have just had 3 Further Service forms across my desk and...
