I'm also surprised that there isn't some sort of allowance for any Crown servant parents serving overseas ? Surely if I'm abroad in an official capacity working for HM, my kids would be able to apply to join HM Forces, even if they hadn't been in the UK for a couple of years ?
BTW, just did the Personality test on the RAF Careers (apparently I have one...a personality, that is....not a career....
)
Says I should be a Flight Ops Assistant......
