Haven't you?

No, fucko. I was actually trying to be helpful for once, using the bollocks knowledge I have earned over the last few years.

You granny shagger.

I'm sure you are still technically entitled as you have done your time to qualify for it. The problem is actually getting it, as by asking for early release then starting resettlement activities you are effectively putting in your request then saying 'See ya'! It will probably depend on whether your current post can be gapped or filled at short notice.

It's a similar problem for those who get 2 years VEng but then sign off and need to do resettlement in 1 year instead of 2.

I wish you all the best and hope you get to use every one of your GRT days and warrants.

Edited to add: Just re-read your OP, that's both your situations then! Double good luck!

Does anyone know if I can get early release and then do a security course with learning credits?

SLC (the lower one) has to be used while in service, ELC (£2000 max for 80% of course fee) can be used 3 times (once per year) up to 10 years after you're out.

You can use ELCs for up to 10 years after you leave.

See here: Elcas - Enhanced Learning Credit Administration System

If you apply for early release are you still entitled to resettlement? I'm looking at signing off at the end of the month but want to be out by Aug/Sept if possible. I've already done my 22 years and am now on VEng.

Cheers.

If you're at Merville watch yourself with the retirded maj in the resettlement centre, he's a useless condescending cnut. I watched him with a lad in front of me, got to me found I had a job lined up then proceeded to slag off the lad before me then rattle through his spiel so fast as to be pointless...... "He's not a lot of use Turkish".

Only if you tell me what day we get paid this month.

Fals, sorry, but after nearly 22 years of being a jumpy person in that Army thing, you are sounding like a kid who needs to know what time you should run your 1.5k in and what kit you should take to Catterick/Harrogate.

I've already told you, I will find out for you. Stop being a big fucking girl.

P.S. Spaz really did shag a granny.
