Hi. I had a call from my 21 year old son last night saying that he has given notice to leave the army!! Although I am pleased, I am also a bit worried what he will do work wise. What jobs are suitable for ex army??

A question about : Armed forces

Hi

I am about to move out of my quarter. I have heard that if you have lived in a service house over 3 years then you can get your issued curtains and carpets cleaned at public expense. If this is the case can anybody point me in the right direction as to where this is written down. ie which JSP and para.

Your help would be great appreciated

A question about : Postage to Soldiers

I wanted to ask here first as the post office I go to is small and tends to have .... issues with anything out of the ordinary!

I have some of the bluey forms and know that they are free to post but does anyone know how much it costs to send a shoebox sized box under 2kg to Afghanistan?

I adopted a soldier and am putting together a first parcel for him!

Also the box I have is shiny and red (a Christmas type box that I found cheap!) so would it be best to wrap it in brown paper?

Thank you!

A question about : Advice / Information Required Please

Hello

I'm new to the Forum, and definitely new to the Armed Forces Board; but I wonder if you good people could shed some light on something for me please?

My daughter is dating a lad who's in the Army. They've been together about 7 months now. He's based at Pirbright? (sorry if spelling is wrong). I believe he's going to get his first posting to somewhere in the UK early next year.

A question about : Leaving/staying?

A question about : Preserved pension vs full

Can anyone tell me how the pensions are calculated? I presume that, having served 13 years (15 - 2 for the queen) that I will recieve an annual pension of 13/22nds of my final salary?
If I am correct, I would also like to know how the APFS 75 calculated those who had served beyond 22. Was it out of 35ths? I cannot find info anywhere
TIA
