Abou time they were civilianised anyway!!!!! Problem removed.
Just had my cert signed and approved by the board at Air Command. Previously this was a done deal however, they go to the enth degree. Make sure you don't have "RAF NO MOVE" on your JPA, this wll discount you straight away. I always put into my SJAR, in comments that I will go anywhere at anytime. This can bite you on the bum I suppose however, if you are in a position to manage/manipulate your own movements then it is just more ammo for you to state that you are fully mobile. Hope it works out for you.
Furthermore, does anyone know how far you have to be posted from one unit to another to constitute a move in the eyes of the CEA world? Cross county borders? within the same county? Thanks.
Isn't it 3372?
Yes, sure does however, if the posting is within 50 miles is it classed as a no move for CEA policy when it comes to re-doing the elig cert?mememe - pretty sure the Mobility Certificate that is signed by Manning states likelihood of an assignment more than 50 miles......
What did it say on yours?
Sometimes family must come before career!Whilst we're on the subject: I've recently been looking into sending my son to boarding school however realised that it is only for children of 8 years and over unless in 'special' circumstances??
Now until recently I was one of those people who were probably quite against boarding schools however of late have changed my mind, seeing some of the children who go to a local boarding school to my unit and also because of the change in my personal circumstances.
In the RAFs eyes I am a single parent (other half is not childs father he lives in the block 400 miles away) I am now being posted to a new unit. My trade and rank are currently going OOA every 18 months but as little as 12. That teamed with guard and courses have got me thinking that the best I can do for him is to get him into a good
school. My other half and I are not married and have no intention of changing that any time soon so if/when I go OOA we are not entitled to a FMQ where he is so my child wont be able to live with him and he now wont be able to stay with any family (as I dont really have any that have a lifestyle that could cope with a 6 year old)
Does anyone know if these are good enough reasons to apply for CEA and also does anyone have any good advice for looking for a good school. My biggest worry is that my son will feel like I have abandoned him. I love him (as every parent does) with my whole heart - he is my world and he's a good kid I just dont want him to change/feel unloved or not wanted because of this.

sorry to go off topic a bit however, can you tell me when this terms CEA will be paid into the bank? Thanks. I usually get it just before they go back, wee one has been back a week and no sign of payment.

Thanks guys, been told it will be in next week. Grateful for your responses. Delayed due to HR lost last receipt and could not approve original claim.....
It seems CEA is still a discussion point, along with other allowances.
