Gents, I'm interested in this too...
I'm returning from a - let's say "out of area" - tour in September, with an IPP of July next year.
I took the 3yr FRI - but can effectively stop working and start leave in January next year. That means I'll actually work for 3-4 months before being not much use anymore. If I'm offered a job that starts next February - can I leave, or would I have to repay the gross FRI for the sake of 5 months, on paid leave?
Not asked the DeskO yet.
