Valedictory Letters - Oh sorry, here's a certificate instead
After 24 years, I tried to leave in the '96 RAF redundancy scheme. No luck there with my desk officer. Or with the following appeal to my OC (my desk officer, just promoted in!)
So I PVR'd in '97.
Still waiting for a letter!
It isn't done if there's no will to do it!

Strangely, thats what I did when I left Lyneham in 1988 for a tour on promotion at HQSTC. Was posted back in 1992 and got some strange looks at some of the sections that I had to arrive at - wanted to know why I was there as I had never left!
Should have signed myself back onto the camp.

Valedictory letter
I got a personal valedictory letter from AVM Jock Stirrup who was Air Officer CommandingNo. 1 Group at the time. Is this unusual.? I thought so, having been a less than spectacular career Corporal, (though I was involved in some dodgy stuff, at times)
Left in 2005 after 25 years service, having achieved a reasonable rank and made a minor contribution or two on the way. All I got was a computer print out of my service record.

I got a few letters when I left. One was the SOP from AOC, the others were from Secondary Duties which meant much more.
Got a shiny Veteran's Badge and nice Pension too!
