Yes, me. Boss called me in, said he was drafting it and wanted some note. The letter, signed by the AOC was really heartfelt and sincere. Yeah right!
As for leaving dos, a colleague and I were sent bills for attending our dining-out night when leaving the service after about 75 years of service between us. Whereas once such things were free, if I recall correctly?
Yes mine was free.
I got Joe'd for a leaving letter. FS, off sick when I took over the unit on retirement of predecessor. FS then medically discharged. Handbrake house sent me the paperwork for the blue letter. I returned and said you know more about him than I do, you have his file, you write it. They did.
