PVR before amortization?

[sarboy w****r]

So the fact that I have only ever got a print-out of the electronic record of what was discussed at the career appraisal interview, that simply says "SBW is aware that there is a RoS associated with this course" (or words to that effect), makes a possible point for later argument?

I'll check the ASPSI when I get to work for the specimen letter I should have got. Where does it say in ASPSI that the desk officer must send the letter? Are they both in Vol 1 Part 4 Chap 1 as well?

The draft letters are in the ASPSI. The ASPSI is clear that the Desk Officer must get a written certificate from your prior to nomination. The final para reads

The revised policy will ensure that, except in cases where the Service need dictates that an individual who is not prepared to accept the RoS requirement must be trained, personnel will be committed to provide the required RoS. Personnel will be aware, from signing the acceptance certificate that this will bar them from premature exit from the Service until they have provided the required RoS.

Interesting. I had a conversation with my Desk Officer along the lines of: "Well I can't let you go early as you haven't completed your RoS post-training"
"What RoS?" says I
Him: "Ah well, you completed the course before we got the paperwork to you, but it will be coming your way soon enough"
Funnily enough, it never did - had it done, it would have gone straight into File 13
Talk about moving goalposts!

Just a thought, but you always honour the commitment that you made before undertaking that training that necessitated the RoS. I know its a radical thought but surely since the forces have paid through the nose for you and the training received they are entitled to their pound of flesh.

Suck it up man and do the right thing, stop whinging and get on with it. You can always go fly for virgin afterwards.

Please dont reply with whinges about this opinion - just assume that I've ignored them and move on.

Good call. Far too many whingers and free loaders wanting to eat cake. If you tried this sort of thing with a civilian company you'd find yourself on yer ear.....

If you committed to the training then crack on with it.

Climebear,

Thanks very much for your advice, it's given me a number of options to pursue.


Dirty_bugger, southside,

Thank you too for your opinions. I hope that if one day your priorities should change such that you feel you want/need to leave the service, I hope that others won't rush to judge you. I wish you both the best of luck in your future careers, in whatever service you should be in.


Anyone generally:

If push comes to shove, and PMA were to be told that after a certain date, you will regard yourself as no longer being employed by the RAF, what do they tend to do? PMA aren't the only people who can be hard-nosed, and I know of at least one other person who is about to press-to-test.

I don't want opinions as to what people think ought to happen (we're not in the Great War any more). I'm interested in first hand experiences. I've never heard of anyone being charged with desertion.
