Sorry Oggin, but I think D'Bear is right. IPP is not the same as the dates for your Commission. 16 yrs reckonable for the IPP. That's it I'm afraid. The air station UPOs should be on the ball and give you a heads up in plenty of time to get the paperwork in. If not sack the Chief writer!
Anyway,
Cobaltfrog appears to be right on the money re signals. No doubt some pen pushing rubber desk johnny has a plan.
Ref retirement age @ 55. Nope. Apparantly all factored into manning levels and designed to achieve the required number of Lt Cdr man years required for the appointing and promotion plots. Yeah, I know, sounds too clever to be true doesn't it? So I'm under the impression that it won't happen. You could always try the 2SL buzzbuster!!!!!!
And Si. That recruitment drum is starting to irritate just a little. It may be your pet thing at the moment (funny that - you're in a recruiting job. Talk about going native), but do give it a rest.
