    Protecting Information (or Data Protection as it's sometimes called) training.

    Can anyone tell me where I can find definitively who should be doing what level of training please? I have been told that everyone has to do level 1, and Sgts and above level 2. Had a look at level 2 and I fail to see any value in it for me as a TG1 Sgt. No one seems to know where the policy...

    Uniform laundering at public expense

    Can anyone tell where the rules are with regard to using the laundry provided by the RAF on most camps? I currently use it for my coveralls, trousers and jumper but is it laid down anywhere what the RAF is obliged to launder? I'm asking as I'm looking in to claiming the tax back on the items of...

    SJAR mandatory fitness comment.

    Morning all. Quick question about the mandatory fitness statement we should be making in SJAR's. The last time I did a load of SJAR's I had to make a statement (just said "he displays a positive attitude towards fitness"), however, I have since found out that this statement is not always...

    Q-BTEC-H & Q-BTEC-H(S) - should I bother?

    Stumbled across an order (AP3392, Vol 2, Chap 2, Lft 529) about Q-BTEC-H & Q-BTEC-H(S), it's a Q given for personnel that hold an HNC or HND that you have to apply for. The order says something about certain jobs that are technically demanding are annotated as requiring suitably qualified...

    Have it on good authority (briefed at Wing Co level) that, as the tittle says, AMM redundancies have been stopped.

    HTD change - can we fight it?

    I appreciate this is/has been discussed at length in other posts, but I thought I'd start a new one to focus on one area. As it seems to be the allowance change that is causing most concern, how can we fight (if fight is the right word) it? I'm fed up with being rail-roaded with the same old...

    Project Zeus - What's going to happen?

    So, read through some of the stuff kicking around on the manning site, according to what I've read, right now there's a trawl to see how long all SNCO's and WO's have been in their current posts.

    The Armed Forces (Redundancy, Resettlement and Gratuity Earnings Schemes)

    Sorry if this has been posted before, I've not seen it so made the assumption it's not common knowledge. I was chatting to a mate of mine last night who tends to know more than me as to what's going on etc. I asked about SDR and potential redundancies. He told me a law was passed on the QT a...

    AFPS 75 - Further offer to transfer to AFPS 05

    Ok, quick question which may bring some long answers. Tried doing a search on this and didn't find anything so here goes. There's some belief where I work that when the offer of AFPS 75 or AFPS 05 was given out some years ago that there was a caveat saying that, if staying on AFPS 75, personnel...

    Challenging DHE grades.

    All, has anyone got any experience of challenging the grade (i.e. how much it costs) of an SFA? In a nutshell, I'm paying the same as (grade 1) SFA with on-suite bathroom and separate dinning room, the SFA are within the same town.

    SFA grade question.

    Just been sorting out some stuff ready for my posting to Lossie, noticed that the SFA we've got is Type C which I believe is 3 bedroom? As we've only got 1 child I'm guessing we're only entitled to a Type B? As the smallest SFA at Lossie (and Elgin) is a Type C I'm a right in thinking that I...

    Posted - What can I claim?

    I'm posted from East Anglia to Grampian (Scotland), just wondering what I can claim? I know I can claim Disturbance, what else? How many vehicles can I claim for the journey up? Can I claim any subsistence for me, my wife or kids etc? Can I claim for carrying my motorbike on a trailer?
