The Military and Pprune
Sorry to bring boredom to an entertaining thread, but I am motivated by spite, since once again the vastly overrated Jaffa Cake has been bigged up, which as a chocolate hob nob man, always nibbles my nuts.
Nobody signs the OSA. Some people sign a document saying they understand the OSA (which is pretty pointless as ignorance of it is not a defence) but the OSA applies to every UK citizen...which kinda completely answers OPs question.
And I knew this a long time before the internet, wiki and pprune were invented.
As I'm sure you all do as well.
Time for a hob nob.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
TOFO, quite, signed a form when I joined, when I left, when I rejoined and probably in between. Somewhere I have a copy of the first.
When I finally departed they sent me yet another OSA form amongst others. I filled out my pension request, bank details etc and binned the rest. No one checked.
Now it would be a good SAR to ask for a copy of each form I signed
. If they can't find it then there would have been no point whatever.

They handed over my medical records in a sealed envelope that I proceeded to open in front of them.... "you cannot do that" they said, "watch me" I replied...
MO was really pissed off LOL

And they're still at it - to this day.
Accessing what's REALLY on your file is a criminal offence, y'know.
How many otherwise bright career prospects have been dashed or simply withered on the vine because the subject was unaware of what had been written, years before, by somebody who was subsequently 'scheduled'?
It happened to a friend of ours.

Sorry TO, I was using the civvy term.
The person responsible for the particular report referred to was subsequently discharged as 'medically unfit', if you catch my drift.

Stan,
Yes, quite a few of my ROs subsequently crashed and burnt. I crossed my new sqn cdr - I was disloyal asking to be relieved of my job as sqn adjt after 2 years with a posting pending. Now I was taught that a secondary duty such as that should have been for 6 months. His sqn was disbanded so he was given a consolation posting to HQ NEAF. After 6 months his gp capt had him 1020'd.
The next RO was a complete nutter and subsequently died of a brain tumour, I don't know if there was a connection.
Later, I must admit, the crop of SOs did seem to improve but there were still some.

Hmm. Thanks, PN.
Our mate, who's now in poor health, ended up having a pretty fulfilling life and doesn't really want to know.
It's his son, though, that wants to pursue the matter.
My advice to him over Christmas was to leave it go - at least until your old man has passed on.
He needs all the quality of life he can get at the moment.
