youd like us to buy you a Papal Knighthood? Arent they supposed to be earnt? Didnt you call yourself 'Sir Duncan White' on the IBAUK website a couple of years ago? Experience of The Training Team: This talk is given by Sir Duncan White. Must have been a typo by admin! Strangely enough the...

Just a swift one for you Duncan, if you have received a 'knighthood' from any organisation other than Her Majesty The Queen of England then you are not entitled to use the prefix 'Sir', you are a 'Chevalier' (pronounced chev-al-e-ay). So if you do have a Papal Knighthood (why isnt your name on...

only just come across this thread after being away for a while, RIP.

I left the Army last year after 23 years, all you get now are: Certificate of Service (mine is 3 pages, details Conduct, Mil Courses, Medals etc) Certificate of Discharge (1 page, date joined, date discharged) Testimonial (Was issued by MCM Div, now a last unit produced certificate) All done...

He isnt on any of the registers (and theyve all been checked!) that he should be on if what he claims he is is true: No SIA NO HPC (Paramedic) No NMC (Nursing) No Association of Papal Order No Order of St John

Also for your information, if you lose your Veterans Badge, you can aply for a free replacement by contacting them, tell them youve lost it, give them all the details about yourself as listed above again and it will be in the post usually same day. Lose it a second time and they will not issue...

Actual Resettlement Officers (IEROs) are not serving officers, some are retired officers. So if someone in green tells you you cant do a course, its not their call to make. Speak to the IERO. Resettlement is the service leavers responsibility, if you cant be bothered to sort it or are put of...

Not sure what you mean about the 'registered provider' bit, unless you were talking about using your ELC. If you want to do a course you can do it with anyone, the difference being that if they are registered as a preferred supplier with CTP then if the company does go 'tits up' the CTP will...

I particularly liked this comment by BarkingSpider: "James Shortt. Born in Croydon and adopted himself as an Irishman. He wears one medal that is awarded to Belgian soldiers from WW2 and another awarded to Belgian soldiers from WW1! How old are you Shortt? As you clearly served in WW1 would...

I liked Shortts in-depth defence "I have proof of all that I say". I think that nearly all of his 'proof' has been exposed as self made. Funny how no-one (past or present) at either 21 SAS or 10 Para have known him, the are no records of him actually doing a Military jumps course (although there...

You can do it over the phone and they usually stick it in the post that day.

There was a RLC chef not long ago who got himself a job as a chef with one of the security companys, took his resettlement as IRP (individual resettlement preparation) and started his job early in Iraq, he was back in the UK within days and tapping the boards in front of his CO. When you are on...

totally agree, check with me first ;) You can work during resettlement as work experience but you shouldnt be paid as you are on duty, unless your CO has given you permission (always get written permission) to be in 'paid' employment. You are spot on though Bushy, You can also ask to be...

You are indeed allowed to work during your terminal leave, which is your last month not last 3 months! If you wish to work before you go on terminal leave you need the COs permission, just write a letter requesting permission to take paid employment, however, remember the tax implications and...

You can work without your COs permission during your terminal leave (final 4 weeks), obviously you will pay tax on those earnings and if those extra earnings push you into the higher tax bracket then thats the risk you take. If you wish to take paid employment outside of your terminal leave then...

A lot of both Regular and TA SAS and Para Regt have contributed to search for Jim Shorrts claims of service and all have come up with zilch! other than something like 8 weeks TA service. As for his nurse/para medic training he isnt registered on either the NMC or HPC registers. I do like the way...

If you are 'in training to be a CMT' just this mean you are just out of basic training? In which case youve got another 6 years before you qualify for resettlement, you could apply for Para-Medic training through AMD, you should know that this training is now open to a certain number of CMTs...

You no longer get a Red Book, all you get is a Certificate of Service, a Certificate of Discharge, a Testimonial and of course your Veterans badge. If you have a Veterans badge you should wear it with pride, it can open doors, help with networking and of course get you a pint or two on...

wow, where to start on this one, fair bit of hearsay and a friend of a friend told me........... Resettlement, if you want to do a CP course as part of your resettlement package from the services, the IERO and CTP can say 'no' to your choice of company that you wish to go through if CTP run a...
