[email protected] - Thanks for that clarification but presumably that applies to young career officers in the AAC? I would have thought that the basic flying course, followed by an Apache course would have taken up most of a three year detachment and the Army would not get it's monies worth out of him? They used to require three years operational. Because it has been stated that he will remain with his regiment and not transfer to the AAC I have presumed he will just do the normal young Army officer thing of three years detachment away, as in SAS, AAC,foreign armies etc. etc. before continuing his career in his own regiment, that is how it used to be. Officers who chose to stay on and do a second flying tour had to take in to account that it might effect their future adversely. (possibly not with Harry though!).
