    IRTC Grant and Tax

    I've put the IRTC Grant through (as an advance) to pay for my re-settlement course, and as its paid through salary, have been taxed on it. Is this right...?

    P60 Reprint

    One for the Admin types amongst us... How can I get a reprint of my P60 from this year? I was down in the South Atlantic when they were sent out, so I was either too drunk to remember getting it (quite possible), or it never made its way all the way back to 1984 (equally possible)...

    OpSec and Social Media

    This was posted on Tw@er by an official account posting good OpSec and PerSec advice... Apparently, someone coming back from Ops posted a picture of the FULL movements signal, then tagged 43 other people in to the picture. Bet he was popular.... ;)
