Late reply to jayc530:
Thanks for the info on the IBN (64?).
I have read through this and also spoken to PSF, it appears that things have been delayed (no surprise there) and that the offers for an additional 2 years service will be going out in Feb 15 and I am out in Jan 15..... So I will not be in the time frame- a bit annoying as I feel that I still have a lot of experience and knowledge to offer the Service.
But, c'est la vie.
