Hi Guys, new to all this but here goes.
Brit Army SGT RLC Former RAOC almost 20 yrs about to PVR to join Aussie Army. Have been given an offer of employment as a SGT in RAAOC for no less than 3 years. Hope to be there by OCT this year, Backflips down the RHQ corridor with my fingers up in the air I can tell you, how would you expect me to feel.
Just about to apply for my visa, police checks will be fine as I'm squeeky and have never been found out
I have a good contact that has made the leap from Corps to Corps but he has done his 22
Need to serve till I'm 55 or I would hate myself for becoming a civvy, what could be worse apart from a civvy settled in Blighty. Sorry, sour grapes as i was priced out of the housing market when I was serving in Brunei a couple of years ago.
I am now currently serving in Germany
If your stuck for info, then give me an e-mail. will be glad to hel if I can.

That's a fair bit of gratuity and pension lost - why not wait till after 22 years?

Cos it's not often that your lottery Nos come up once let alone twice and I need the security of knowing how my life is to be mapped out. the thought of being a civvy is arse.
So when I got an acceptance to get another 18 years service in, I thought i had better take it, Money for old rope having done 19 already.
Geordie...........
Let me in, I don't like civvies....only the wife gets away with it in my book

Proof of discharge is fine. RMP reports only required for countries served in for more than 12 months.
I finish my time with the Brit army 30 Oct, sign on the Oz army 1 Nov.

Where are you posted? We have been given a posting to Townsville - date tbc - pending visas.
Would love to hear of your experience - it has taken 2 years + for us - Iraq war did hold it up slightly.

Re: aus military
It is possible to join the australian forces whether still serving or not . You need to apply through the Australian High Commission in London and they will then inform you on how to proceed. I have just gone through the process and have been allocated a position.
Good Luck.

It may be that the Corps assesors are either taking their time or that you have slipped through a net somewhere. SCMA transitions is closed until early 2005, so I woiuld email them then. You may get a reply if you email sooner but I doubt it.
PM if you need more info.

I'm currently in the AGC(SPS), I'm trying to transfer to either the RAAOC or RAAPC as you know can do both jobs (was originally in the RAOC).
Thanks

An address in Australia is included to send the pack too when completed, hopefully when they have looked at your application they will reply and let you know what the next steps are that you need to do.
Be patient as this decision can take several months, mine took 6!
Good luck.

I work directly with the ANZAC class FFH, but can get you info about the FFG's or subs as well, cos they are also based here in Perth (well Rockingham - garden island) as well as fleet support plus logistics unit etc....
We also have army and RAAF here in perth so if you need info about those will be able to give contacts in the recruiting division.
