Pvr

A question about : Pvr

Hi

someone was telling me that they had to pay no money to get out from the RAF, just handed in their notice, been in about 5 years

Have been released 6 ish weeks from start to finish

I think it is more likely they have been discharged after a stint of 20 days in the glass house

Am I wrong or is it likely they have been allowed to give notice and leave?

Best answers:

• I handed in my PVR in 2007, I was told I had to wait 12 months to get out, I then returned a week later with a letter of offer of employment with an expiary to start. I then filled out a Gen App to have my exit date moved forward and was out within a month.
  I didn't have to pay anything to leave early.
• PVR waiting times are published by RAF Manning. Certain trades can be reduced down to 6 months, or even extended up to 12-18-24months. It really depends on manning levels for that Rank/Trade.
  However, if a person was failing the service test. Then I could see no need to hold them back if they wanted to leave the RAF if they were an admin burden.
• One of the lads in my section managed to get out with a "job offer" from Holiday Inn on an A4 piece of paper with no letterhead, no phone number, and no name of the person confirming the "job offer", just a squiggled signature, with "manager" underneath.
  Mind you, he was one of the biggest oxygen thieves I have ever had the misfortune to meet!
