Re-joiners be aware

[Richard Dangle]

Absolutely! Wherever the journey takes you! Just enjoy it and always appreciate your own value and opportunities.

So as you are approaching 60 I suspect that you will on retirement be entitled to a purely AFPS 75 or AFPS 05 pension, which if you rejoin could be abated!

I left the Regulars in 2013 on AFPS75 with an immediate pension. I have been FTRS initially on RFPS05 for 18 months and then AFPS15 from 15 onwards. Both parts of the new pension are payable at age 60, so by my reckoning I can leave at 60 and then get another FTRS job at 60+1day and get an unabated pension for 5 years.

I'd take professional advice Grumpy as I suspect that is not what would happen.

Uncompetitive system

There are unfortunately so many reasons why attracting talent back is stacked against the services; this is just another. The marketplace of people is highly fluid especially when it comes to high quality ones.
I have been approached several times and looked into it seriously one one occasion (on a part time basis) but the offering is so far below the competition that it barley makes a shortlist even if you take an altruistic element/ being part of something/ giving back into account.
It doesn’t matter what the treasury rules about pensions are : asking someone to hand in some family income so that they can take a job is a really bad start.

Two things to appreciate when considering rejoining after a few years "out"
Firstly, inevitably, the Service will have moved on.
Secondly, so will you as well .
