Are there any loopholes for getting out of a contract.
Hi everyone,
I have just rejoined the army on a 3 year contract. There was a question mark over my pulheems as i was given P2 status as I am on regular medication for Blood Pressure, the contract did state I should be FE but my Regiment has decided I am fit enough to join.
Since I rejoined I have received an offer from the police service and I would like to know if there is a loop hole to getting out of the contract?
Any feedback would be great.
Thanks
Seton

Re: Are there any loopholes for getting out of a contract.
just ask a few of our defence contractors how they get out of contracts.....
On the serious side, I think you can use the medical route - if you are genuinely unfit to deploy, but then that may affect your application to the police. You could ask the police to defer, do your 3 years, then crack on?
May be worth a chat with your Bn RCMO?

Yes. You're a jack bastard. Thank fcuk I never served with the likes of you.
Feedback enough?We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.
In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

I doubt the Police will let you in with high blood pressure. I have heard of quite a few people who have been deffered for that reason.

If you have been given a grading of 'P2' then you will have a PES of 'FE'
you can't have FE without P2, and vice versa.also available in sarcastic

If you are graded P2 then your hypertension is not considered enough of a problem to prevent you being graded FE provided that you meet all the other physical and mental gradings. Originally Posted by seton

Inevitably the police service you wish to join will be speaking to your Regiment. They will, no doubt, fully brief them on your vascilation and apparent inability to stick at any career, always seeing next door's grass as the greener.
So good luck because it looks like you are going to completely fail at both careers. If you can't honour a contract, because it doesn't suit you, what sort of a policeman do you think you're going to make? Do you really think you will be seen as an attractive proposition to the police?

Just a thought, I wonder if he's now joined Rum Ration as he thinks he may get a better response there.
