It's ok. They just sent me to the Falklands after being on R2 for 7 months then put me back on it as soon as I got back for MACA. I assume there are no rules.

You know what you need....Get 22 done and leave or get somebody at T055f0rd to "accidentally" remove THAT Q!!!!!!! Former option worked for me albeit staying for an extra 10 months. Just glad I didn't do my extra 4 years up to 2023!! Would be going SPARE!!!
I'm on constant R1, the only rule is you have to remain competent in all the essential quals, WHT's every 6 months ARTS, MOD1,2,3 etc..... there was something in the last ARPRB that they were looking at LSA days for being on R1 without the pay so that when you did deploy you were on a better daily rate.

Is it stressful albeit on a sub-conscious level, or is it so-so?? Would the better daily rate suffice??

That LSA date thing would lessen the blow a bit.
Not really stressful because the likelihood of being called out is remote, its just the admin burden of maintaining the readiness
So how do you take a two week holiday abroad if on R1?

One of the reasons I asked the question initially, you literally can't have an organised life on R1 &2.
There is enough of us to cover the requirement, we also rotate who has the bat phone
So you aren't always at R1 then? Just prepped to deploy.....

Memories of 1 Sqn and the threat of mass PVR springs to mind.
I’d left the Sqn by then, how bad was it.

Was on course at Wittering when a long distant RN boat trip was in the offing for members of the Harrier mafia when a fellow course member in the bar uttered the immortal phrase. "Well a Harrier man's a Carrier man". The silence was deafening.

With work up and de prep, along with the BS factor I’d wager 9 months.
