The goalposts associated with RAFFT have changed in line with elements of it which are/were untenable.
Those in their last 12 months of service will no longer have to complete RAFFT as there is little point in completing MAA administration at that point.
Those employed worldwide not as part of a formed unit insofar as PTI facilities are restricted/unavailable are exempt. This includes all USA postings. *There is a list of countries, but it appeared that 'Planet earth' would have saved much paper.
The cynic in me believes that these changes are being made in order to enhance future statistics in acceptance that certain things either cannot be overcome or are difficult to defend in redress. The briefing note is out now, the effective date is if I recall 1 Sep 12.
That'll be two less fitness tests to do then
