Let people know you've joined the Gary Glitter fan club
That should get you kicked out

mtrad,

If you are a 6 month SAC, are you able to talk to your 'desk' these days?

'All change' I guess..?

Is there actually any proper advice on here? Also, it seems a bit of an odd question to post in the first place.

On the basis that it is genuinely someone in need though - is it the Regiment, or is it the RAF as a whole? In many ways with the market as it is, it is safer to be IN than OUT. What about a branch change?

No. It was possible from about 9 years ago up until around a year ago but it's changed back again, sergeants and above can contact their desk direct, everyone else has to go through the Chief Clerk.

It's been given a couple of times, the OP goes to his boss and / or the Chief Clerk, that's the only way forward.

Several people did... Either Standto didn't read the entire thread or he can't see his hand in front of his face...Neither matters..

Kevin Ley

TTN you asked about Kevin Ley.
I have seen a Kevin Ley who wears an eye patch an was in the RAF (no more detail than that) who now makes very expensive wooden furniture and writes books and magazine articles about it. I just wish some of the cut up bits of wood I'm left with could look a bit more like his stuff.
As to the OP, plenty of good advice on here - speak to the chief clerk, discuss your options - if the system won't let you out - is there a chance of a remuster to an electronics trade - then if you still don't get on with RAF you can leave later, after return of service - but qualified and ready for outside life.

That's the same Kevin Ley m2mob. Never knew about the furniture making - he was mainly interested in sinking large quantities of beer when I knew him!

Kevin Ley was OC FRTS at Catterick as his last job and did indeed move into furniture restoration/creation.

fair point - sort of what I meant. But you would have thought the chap would have known that - or does nobody talk to each other any more?
