Right then serious question here about co-location, Mrs MMJ has been posted at the start of march to Waddington which she is mega excited about as it is a massive opportunity for her career progression.
The problem lies with me however, We’ve been up here at ISL for nearly three years and I am sort of working out of trade in a training unit, as it stands I have been told that I wont be considered for a move until at least June if at all because of a ban on my rank and trade leaving lossie (ATM Cpl).
Now while we were prepared for a period of separation we are now looking at a minimum of six months plus if not indefinite, I know that others of the same rank and trade as me from other units are being moved with no problems so I don’t understand why I can’t move.
Now before we start with the “man up” brigade I don’t mind a short period of being apart say four months as it would just be like any OOA but I’m not looking forward to having a separated family at opposite ends of the country as commuting to get the family together will be a one weekend a month option at best.
I’m getting nowhere with my management or PSF who just keep saying I am not going anywhere soon.
I would at a push even consider Marham and commute so I can at least see my wife and son at the weekends but even this is not an option apparently.
At this point I’m open to all suggestions (sensible one’s please) as I’m at a loss, all my JPA reflects my desire to move down to the area, co-location, I’ve even waived my ninety days notice and found someone willing to replace me at work.
Over to you
