    EPICs

    Firstly, I have no Accts experience so bear with me!The Accts Unicom system used to allow us to issue EPICs to people and the cash would go immediately to their bank account. Now that Unicom has gone this is no longer possible.Speaking to Corporate Governance and JPAC, there is a way of...

    AIP Rules

    Ladies, GentsHave the rules for claiming AIPs changed in the past few years? When AIPs were introduced the rule was that an individual could be awarded either an A, B or C, plus the D (not, for example an A and B). There doesn't seem to be anything in the 754 that says an individual cannot now...

    Station Leave Plot

    I would be grateful for a little JPA Reporting advice in the absence of my specialists. Logged in to JPA Reporting and, under MI Unit HR Admin, have run Departmental Absence Status. I selected every absence and every unit available, with dates start/cease dates of 1/31 May 12. To my way of...

    Removals - Personal Contributions

    Connect Laptop to Internet via Mobile Phone

    I will be posted soon and will be living in SLA and travelling back to the missus on weekends. I was looking at some form of mobile internet contract for my laptop but I have recently read that it is possible to connect a laptop to t'interweb through a mobile phone. I have unlimited internet...

    Refund of Costs Following Assignment Cancellation

    Ladies & Gents, I would be grateful for your collective experience regarding a refund of misc costs. In a nutshell, I have a guy who was due to deploy OOA. Two days prior to his flight, being the switched on cookie that he was, he cancelled his car insurance and tax and obtained a SORN for...

    Do I have a case...?

    Ladies & gents, if you are in a Chf Clk role or similar I would be grateful for a bit of impartial advice. I was in a Chf Clk role a few years back and if someone had come to me with a case like mine I don't think I would have been very sympathetic! I have just been notified of my next OOA...

    Finance for OOA Personnel

    I'm looking for a definitive answer on this one. I'm not on a military unit but based with civil serpents, therefore they don't have a great deal of experience dealing with military finance. I know that when a scrote like me goes OOA then my wages are still attributed to my parent unit's UIN...

    SJAR - 2 Reports ongoing

    A bit of a long story, but I have 2 SJARs ongoing at the same time. The first one is just waiting for the 3RO to do her bit and the other report has just been raised. As my responsibilities have changed slightly, if I go in as UEA and change them, will the change take effect from today, and...

    Army Associations

    Am I correct when I say that the Army do not have our equivalent of RAFA or the Navy equivalent of the RNA, but they have a variety of assocations which are area/regiment based? If I am wrong, what is the name of the association that looks after the Army as a whole? Thanks in advance!

    News from Manning

    (nee The Chf Clks' Bulletin) The issues on the Manning website only go up to May 10. Have subsequent ones moved without informing us in the Diaspora, have the lazy blighters just failed to publish/write them, or has there been no news during Jun/Jul? Anyone know? :PDT_Xtremez_21: Cheers

    Queen's Birthday

    As I'm not on or near a military unit, I don't know if we are having a gash day off for HM's birthday. As I'm getting old I can't remember if we had one last year! I've had a quick look on t'intranet, even looking at some SROs from a few units, but can't find anything. Can anyone confirm...

    Discount Brochure - discounts my @rse!

    Over the past few days I've been sorting out car hire, airport parking and travel insurance for the mightierthan annual family holiday to Espana. I presumed that - as an Iraq vet, currently serving and generally all round good egg - the MOD Discounts Brochure would be able to offer me some...

    Watching rugby at home?

    If you, like me, will be watching the rugby at home this weekend and want some great ale instead of poncy lager to watch it with, look no further than Asda. They have some great bottles of ale on offer at £1 each, including Speckled Hen, Bombadier, Theakstons Old Peculiar (6.2%) and Bishop's...

    Civvy Qualifications

    I'm looking to get a professional qualification as I may, just may, be considering a life in civvy street. Ideally I want something that my AMLC, rank and experience gives me without me doing any/much work. As far as I can see from the CPD list on the A1 website my options are: -- CMI...

    Indicator having a fit

    Hi gents (and possibly ladies), I wonder if anyone could tell me what's wrong with my indicator, and how I can fix it. I have a '99 Rover 25 and the left indicator has just started flashing rapidly when I use it. Not every time, but most of the time. I presume it's something a little more...

    Selling Goods on Internet Scam

    Hopefully this is in the appropriate forum, but I'm sure someone will move it if not. I just put a mobile phone up for sale on EBay for £250 a few days ago. Although it was priced at about £30-40 below comparable phones, I was still suprised when it sold in about 20 minutes (as I had put a Buy...

    Serjeant Powis, MC

    A very brave lad and all that, but what really stood out for me were the facts that he is 26 years old, has been in the Army 5 years and is a Sjt! Now I'm well aware that the Army career pattern allows for much faster promotion than the RAF, but 5 years is good going - especially when you...

    TV Aerial Help

    Ladies, Gents My TV aerial lead currently comes down the roof of my house, down the outside of the wall and into the lounge. What I want to do, if it's possible, is put a 'splitter' outside the house so I can have a lead going into the bedroom above the lounge. Does anyone know if I can buy...
