Default Any ex-forces-how did you prove contract of employment

We are in the process of gathering together all info for 120 day letter and as other half is still currently serving in Army we were wondering how we go about providing a contract of employment/ proof of terms and conditions. We've managed to get references from several of his ex-bosses but were wondering what other people may have provided. Any info would be really useful.

thanks

Woz.

I knocked up a headed letter for my boss to sign (he's a Major), saying that I'd been employed in the army since 1988 and including a table showing all my previous postings. He signed it and I stapled his business card to it along with a photocopy of my original T&Cs (yes, I still have it after all these years...lol). That was it....

Hi Woz, ( ex batus 2001 - 2003?)

I got my OC to write a letter saying Id been in the army for x amount of years with x amount to go, and just had it printed on headed paper etc so it look official, seemed to work for me.

Cheers guys, that helps. Mick, you've got me guessing now as to who you are? I was in Batus from '99-'02 as Redtops SNCO.

Were any problems thrown up through the process regarding military certificates/documentation?

Regards

Woz.

Mick C? You break your ankle on the ice?

or Mick M? (not that one, as you appear to be a- literate and b- not worried about cirrhosis of the liver affecting your application)

<desperately hopes you aren't that Mick>

the other half sported 54 staples in his head a la frankenstein's monster... but it wasn't a hockey injury. some people will do anything for a few week's off work.
