In a nutshell on the 11th & 12th January 2011, 38 SNCO's recieved their 12 months notice by a generic email. This email did not go through their respective Chain of Command (CoC), the SNCO's were told to inform their CoC. It has been said that this is yet another example of 'David Cameron's' lack of care and understanding of the armed forces. At least one of these SNCO's was serving in Afgahn at the time he recieved the email. The following link gives more details and the email that was sent out.

So, if the SNCOs don't tell their CoC then they can carry on jogging as normal? Somehow I don't think so.

It is not a very good way to treat people who have given so much to the army. Remember the press uproar when some guy sacked his staff by text message? Not a lot of difference here and a distinct lack of cojones from some very senior officers. IMHO

Quite. Unless they were foolish enough to acknowledge receipt of the email, there is nothing to stop them simply deleting it and feigning ignorance.....

Don't quite see what DC had to do with this. Or are you suggesting he's attempting to run the manpower plot, not the country?

[Wonders which is harder??]

Apart from the mail server logs, you mean? Good call.

Even if you opened it and a read receipt was sent, it still does not prove the recipient actually read the contents as many a company has found out in court.

It shows his ignorance of the whole SDSR and that the he trust the 'suits' behind the closed doors in DM (A) in Land. But when HQ Land found out, they were outraged as well and they are in the same building as DM (A). It dosn't exactly fill you with confidence?

Its like the old NOTACAS joke. "All those with mothers alive at home stand up, sit down Jones".

Someone mentioned this the other day.

On O type there are MCPs, where you can be given 12 months notice and your resettlement, but after 15 I beleive only redundancy can be used.

They were under the impression that V type has the facility to MCP you at any point with 12 months notice.
