Going on Ops in Final two years

[jimbobalooney]

Can the RAF still send us away on ops ( Afghan ) within our last 2 years of service ( resettlement period) ?

Yes

If you haven't been pinged by the time your last year starts then you shouldn't go, but the excuse "operational reasons" has been used in the past and will be used again in the future.

My idiot of a boss made sure I was away on ops whilst t'missus was at home packing boxes for us to move to our new life....The idiot.

It's the last 12 months they ideally shouldn't use you, which is written in the AP somewhere. But with 2 years to go, you are still fair game!

I nearly got dicked for a spell OOA in my last few months of service! I would have returned about a week after my final batch of leave (terminal & annual) had started, let alone any post Op leave!
Strange, but an old war wound started playing up again!!
I would have been more than happy at any other time but they could go feck themselves that late, i had a new life in a new country to sort out!!

Did my last OOA last year and came back with 18 months left to do, so you are fair game until that last 6 months. Got to love those drafters...
