If you were an airship and had been attending strategy meetings and forming a 5, 10 or even 20 year plan and you knew just what cuts were coming and had to ensure people left because they were p1ssed off leaving only people who will let you stamp all over them taking bites out of enormous sh1t sandwiches without complaint then this is perhaps quite a shrewd move...use this as a filter to get rid of the waiverers and those with building family or personal issues...
Nail, hammer, bang on.

I wonder if this applies to reserve force deployments as well?
It might prove a little, counterproductive, in an environment where these are being used not simply for defence of the realm situation but also to fill in gaps in regular manning. These people have more than one life to live.

I've just received AO's for 3 personnel to deploy to an Op Allowance-earning location next summer and they are all for 4 months.

The rumour mill is in overdrive at the secret West Mids training base. Aparrently if you have an assignment order at the moment for next year, expect the tour length to change.
Someone told me there was a brief at Brize last week, any truth to this?
90SU find out on Monday.

The wife'll be over the moon if they extend her FI to 6 months, on the other side it'll be 6 months with just me and the kids in Cyprus

The annoying thing for most folks I presume will be the fact that there has been? a briefing somewhere that included the statement that dets will be moving to 6 monthers in 2012. If that is the case, why isn't it known Service wide? Unless, as previously stated, slow trickle of gen will p1ss people of...

Talking of the twisted sock brigade.....I've seen 3 Med Boards recently, where in the past they would have allowed people to stay in, actually discharge people.
Times are a changing and personnel on Perm Reduced JMES need to watch out.........if you can't deploy then why do they need to keep you in?
Scary thing is, there appears to be no consideration given to time left to serve, consequently one person has missed out on their Immediate Pension by 3 months! Didn't get a med discharge as their injury was not attributable to the service!

Double standards then. This should be challenged by the individuals.

Then they should have been given an SIP if on AFPS 75. Or are you saying they were admin discharged on medical grounds?

No such thing as double standards, every case is taken on its own merits and one decision does not set a precedent, apparently.
In fact we've had two, one admin discharge on Med grounds (non attributable AFPS75) and an AFPS05 discharge.

I have heard for some time that 6 month dets were due but only for those in a senior managerial position to provide a decent form of 'continuence'?

Why do you think that? Just curious.

For those asking about the airbridge, it should ease the hassle as there will only be people requiring flights there and back on a six monthly basis, but any gains from going to six months could easily be wiped out by the additional flights needed for R&R. Hmm, will have to add up that one to figure out where the saving is. As my brain tells me that it's no saving on the airbridge, but a big saving on Units losing bodies every other month.
