Soldiers given extra Christmas leave as a 'thank you'
BBC News - Soldiers given extra Christmas leave as a 'thank you' (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20573387)
The directive says: "Staff should be encouraged during this period to work from home, where suitable work can be made available."
Does this give Sgt Nightingale a valid course for appeal. "The 3 RPG launchers and ammunition under the bed were necessary for me to work from home, Sir"
Unfortunately the "The RAF and Royal Navy are not affected by the decision", but the mind boggles at the possibilities should it be so now, and even backdated perhaps. "Please Sir, can I take a Vulcan home so I can change the Red Steer over the weekend?" Or "The 4 ECM cans in the back of my truck were for testing over the Christmas break at home". http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/badteeth.gif Hate stupid Christmas movies - jam everything for 50 mile radius. Fix Bob Hope and his White Christmas for good.
So for serving members of PPrune, submissions are being accepted for work that you would like to accomplish at home over the Christmas break. Importing desert for quick sorties might, just might, be a bit over the top, but anything else will be considered. Harriers have definitely been cancelled, so you can't take one home to impress the neighbours.
