PVR Rates

Nice one, got what you wanted then....
Latest report is out http://www.dasa.mod.uk/applications...ubType=1&date=2012-11-15&PublishTime=09:30:00
PVR rate up again to 3.9%
PVR rate up again to 3.9%
10 years ago, a 4% PVR rate was the standard planning assumption for ground trades.
- 3,475
- 15
- 38
But a breakdown of trades may show a different picture
10 years ago there was over twice as many bods in the RAF too.
Not sure what your point is there.
4% now is half the number of individuals it was back then?
Yes it may well do.
From the headline figures in the linked data though, a politician (ie the one with the money) will see that the RAF has the lowest PVR rate of the 3 Services.
(there are lies, damn lies, and statistics)
If there are spikes in some areas that will have a significant impact on operational effect, I hope the relevant trade sponsors are writing some compelling requirements for FRIs.

Is there any information out there that shows the PVR rate and manpower deficit per trade and rank?
Point being, we had more slack back then, if 4% PVR now someone is doing 2 jobs.
Not necessarily. It was the time of TELIC 1, and FRESCO, and HERRICK, and Balkans. IIRC DWR turn-around times were far shorter than those shown now.
- 4,600
- 643
- 113
Not that many will worry, but I have now heard from two different, but reliable sources that 37 TG17 Sgts have PVRd recently. That is significantly higher than 4% - probably higher than 10%.
I don't agree. Herrick didn't start ramping up properly till 2006, 2001-2006 there were a fraction of the number of people in Afghan and the Balkans were on a wind down as well.
I was in manning at the time. The peak in our operational deployments occurred on TELIC1 and 2. It was far more than current HERRICK. And was exacerbated by the smaller dets in the Balkans and Afghanistan. Not to mention the pain of FRESCO. The current published DWR TRTs are far better than back then.
- 3,461
- 269
- 83
Wait until 12(B) get back from Herrick, and the bombshell that will be, 'Congrats Boys and Girls, we now need you at Marham!'
A number of us are 're-evaluating' things even now.
We are now at 4.1% rats and sinking ships, no wonder lossie is having to be back filled from Marhell because they are all leaving!

If you think about it, 3 Tornado Squadrons are going in next 24 months, that s like 300 engineers and the rest , this is what the Government want to push everyone out. Saves on lengthy pension payments. They push people out in the North of Scotland , the best place for aircraft engineers to settle , the government wins and gets thousands of ex military skilled engineers to aid the oil industry for the next 40 years
