MGD:- How many days/months have you been given to serve? ....& your terms or theirs? A good friend in a similar position (PVR) has to do 6 months despite being NCA targeted for redundancy and with a job to go to. Is the ODH average NCA PVR of 6 crewmen at any one time still extant? This says much about for the SH Force, and I am sure the background logic has much in common with others who have walked before you.
Good Luck; hope the grass is a nicer shade on the other side.
