I am an an-regular officer on a 3 year FTRS contract and would like to hear your thoughts on the feasability of cutting it short.
Essentially I would like to leave this contract after 2 years and pick up a different, SO3, job in a regional bde.
I realise this would be - to many of you - rather jack. I signed on the line for the three years, so why change? Well essentially staying for the full whack will have a very bad effect on my family life, unforseeable when I signed up.
I am not committed to signing off, but would like to investigate the possibility. Obviously I would give 6 months notice, or as much as required. Due to my employment there would be no need for my unit to find a replacement.
If I did so would I be in such bad situation with MCM Div that I would not be considered for any further FTRS contracts? I would understand if so - this is the Army after all - but I hope that they might be persuadable
I realise that "tough shit" is the answer many of you will give, but I'd be grateful to hear other opinions too.
Thanks
