    Hearing on the grapevine there might be a Falklands medal for those lucky enough to have spent time on those wonderful islands. Any meat to the rumor?

    Benefit information statement

    I know they are not as good as the Form 12. But it dropped through this morning and I have a quick question. Do you take one if your AFPS75 pensions (either before or after maximum commutation) then add that to your edp and lump sum on the afps15 then that is your total? I'm going to send off a...

    Raf Scampton and migrants

    Saw it in Twitter this morning. You can tell none of the commentators have been to Scampton in the last 10 years saying refugees would turn the place into a shithole, it's been a shithole for a very long time. I also love the "The Dambusters would be turning in their grave" comments. Would they...

    Compulsory objective is it compulsory anymore?

    As the title of the thread, I heard rumours of you not being required to have it on your SJAR anymore? I'm struggling to find SMART evidence for it this year, I've not been very inclusive at all working from home. Anyone able to point me in the right direction to the AP or JSP that has the info...

    Lack of drivers

    Twitter has been on fire lately with pictures of Waitrose shelves empty and now Weatherspoons has run out of Carling due to the lack of drivers due to Brexit stopping EU drivers coming over. Isn't this what it was all supposed to be about though or am I getting it all wrong? There is a local...

    Lump sum question

    AFPS 15 is breaking my head. You get an EDP lump sum paid immediately on discharge, but if you you commute you get an extra lump sum but it's at SPA and a reduced pension after that? You don't get any extra money at your discharge? The AFPS 75 you can boost your Lump sum by commuting and get...

    Being a Sir (Knighthood) in the RAF

    I get how if you are Knighted by the Queen or one of her subordinates you can call yourself Sir StickyFingers around the Uk and in work and on your Email signature and Business cards etc... What if you are knighted by another sovereign nation? Would it still be allowable to call yourself Sir...

    Fitness test levels dropping

    Been going around. That lass failing the Reg selection because it was too physically demanding. Recruitment and retention on its arse, a fatty in uniform is better than nothing. Anyone heard anything solid?

    Last tour of duty

    Anyone know the rules? Like when can you put it in, what ranks it applies to, stuff like that? Heard Sgts don't get it anymore, but I only assumed if that was if they signed up for LOS 30?

    Men having long hair in the military

    So, why can't we? We have women in the regiment now, women are allowed long hair, men are not. Is it discrimination? Anyone got a good reason why other than "That's how it is!"

    Asbestos in quarters

    So, I've been hearing a lot about guys in SFA finding/being told there is asbestos in their quarters. They were not told about this before they moved in. Some have even displayed some symptoms of asbestosis. Anyone know the legal ramifications of putting a someone and the family into a house...

    Volunteering

    Had a look through the APs and QRs seeing what rules were what and was wondering if anyone volunteers who is currently serving? Blood bike, First Responder, Firefigher etc... Anyone do it? Money worth it? Rules what you can and can't do, I heard RAF firemen can't be retained fireman as they...

    Custom fitted Ear Defenders

    So I got the tinnitus, so my right ear is having a hard time passing the hearing test. I'm looking at getting myself some custom fitted ear defenders. Will the RAF help pay for them or will I get "No we provide the Yellow in ear ones and Peltor over ears ones,use them" Thought I'd ask before...
