CFS=ROS?
Sorry to be uncontroversial, just a quickie. Does time with CFS count against one's return of service, or is the clock stopped, so to speak?

If the answer to Pontius' question is yes, then completion of CFS (i.e. award of a B2 cat) adds an extra 3 years to your required RoS, normally.
If you're doing a CFS job for a second tour then I'm not 100% sure, but I think that your time on the CFS course is still eating up your original RoS, so the clock doesn't stop. But it does leap back 3 years if you finish the course!

CFS ROS
Although it was a long time ago, I got a written statememt that I did not need to complete the 3 years ROS and that my option which was due in 2 years time still stood.

CFS training incurs a 36 month TRoS. If you have an outstanding TRoS (such as initial OCU) it will run concurrently. If you have previously held a cfs qual it does not apply. Tri-Service RoS regs apply; chat to you career manager.

PS,
The gist with the previous cfs qual is that your next course will be a refresher. This carries no ROS.
It is all in AP3392 and a DIN (the number of which I have forgot)

Cheers Tartan (and everyone else), that clears things up. End of first tour, with a grand total of two not particularly juicy options for the next one. The RAF is full, dammit! Just weighing up the pros and cons.
