Short Service to Permanent Commission
Perhaps someone can help shed some light on this one - I'm 10 years into my 12 year Short Service Commission and they have just offered me a PC. The initial paperwork gives an 18/40 point, which infers that rather than giving me the option of transfering to AFPS 2005, I will be transferred anyway.
Clearly I would like to stay on existing AFPS 75, and sign on 'til 16/38. Is this Innsworth pulling a fast one? If so can I wave a "preserved pension rights" card?
There will be an obvious disparity between 2 people who joined at the same time, one who can retire on a full pension at 38, and one who has another 2 years left to run!
Any help appreciated!
