Birthday (50) today, therefore 260 months to go until retirement
..and of course expectation of my fitness is now less.
Hyperthetically (sp?) I could have failed the test and faced admin action yesterday, but capable of passing it today. Food for thought when your livliehood is riding on such draconian measures as compulsary dismissal. As pensions are 'earned' over time, I cannot believe the rumours of pensions being under threat.
Is there any evidence of dismissal being used beyond people who refuse to attend remedial sessions? ie attitude.
My 'attitude' is that the process is good in principle and flawed in practice. There should be procedures in place that do not give rise to exagerating injury. I know of an individual (not me) who passed the RAFFT and was then grounded for 6 months due to knee injury aquired during the test. The RAF may not care about life after retirement, but I do!
