That is good for those in light blue to know - but I still think a tri-service approach would have been better.
RN elements have known for some time know if they are in the target areas via a Galaxy that was released some weeks back.

So who is correct then? The OP who says that the Marham intranet is saying the announcement is to be delayed, or Capt Darling, who said 2 posts ago that it is still on track to be announced tomorrow? 
I guess all will become clear in the next 20 odd hours....

It was meant to be a Tri Sevice announcement. As it happens, all the RAF figures have been sorted but the Army ones have not. As MGD stated all the bad news was to be released at the same time.

The issue for the Army would appear that Director Manning(Army) wants to work on 'reckonable service' to make the figures for those eligible for an IP easier to work with...
The Army Personnel Centre works on years in rank and year of birth - combine that with JPA only showing one's latest contract (eg an issue if a soldier before commissioning or transferee) and there is a problem. All will not be as displayed on JPA. This is all thirdhandrumourmill truth by the way.
Cluster...but a tri-service announcement would still be better.

Nothing changes. I was one of the ones that applied for redundancy in 1964!! Yes, I am that old!! And maybe you wern't even running up and down dads spine with a clearance chit!!
I was posted quite sometime after I applied, and then after just 3 months at the new place I was called into the bosses office and told that I was now a civilian!! The only problem was that the redundancy was April 1st. and he called for me on April 3rd!!
Don't expect any better, they have never changed.

One does wonders if one reason is because some of the crew of HMS Cumberland are to be effected due to her soon retirement and that the fact would not have made good press at this time......
Either way.... still disgusted

Spinal Jaundice in Whitehall
It would appear that Dave is as Spin Driven as his labour chums. I cannot believe that neither he nor the SecDef have the balls to announce the redundancy fields etc when so many peoples lives hang in the balance. Just goes to show they are all the same bunch and why hasnt someone leaked it from within MOD, its not like its things arent leaked every day.
Glad I am going of my own volition come on Def Chiefs get on with it and show some balls.

a station intranet in lincs posted this morning:
The announcement of the RAF Redundancy Programme eligibility criteria and fields, that was due to be promulgated on 1 Mar 11, has been postponed. Further details to follow as soon as available
Parliament today:
Main Chamber:
1430 - Deputy Prime Ministers Questions
Westminster Hall:
11:00am - 12:30pmSir Alan Beith Future provision of helicopters and crew for the Search and Rescue Service
12:30pm - 1:00pmAngus Robertson UK military basing review
No mention of Military redundancies at all - waiting for a bad news day perhaps?

I can't answer for activity in Parliament, but the person on the desk next to me has the details and is preparing to brief on it this afternoon so if someone's going to tell them to delay they'd better be quick about it.
