Evening, I am about to have a bit of a rant so will apologise in advance for perhaps seeming to climb on my soap box!
Why is it so time consuming and difficult to transfer straight from regular service to NRPS?
I left the Regs 24 Jun 06 and was "fortunate" enough to get a job as NRPS - started Apr 06 thanks to a kind CO and a few weeks of double hatting until my replacement arrived.
Worked my Terminal Leave, LDOS 24 Jun 06, obligatory day off 25 Jun 06 (just my luck to be a Sunday!) attested into the TA as NRPS 26 Jun 06. All my Discharge Paperwork was completed and this was sent, along with copies of other paperwork (as I took my original docs with me to my new unit) to the relevant desk at MCM Div prior to my terminal leave - all paperwork sent was annotated as transferring immediately to NRPS.
All my Attestation Paperwork for NRPS was sent to MCM Div the week I attested.
So this begs the question:
Why? when I was offered, and accepted, a job as NRPS did I have to completely de-kit in order to be SOS to then have to wait to be issued a new clothing issue when I am eventually TOS? Strikes me as a waste of money and also embarassing as "officially" I have no uniform at this present moment - can't get new issue until TOS.
Why? does it take so long for authority to be TOS to come through? Without this authority I am not able to be paid (last paid 24 Jun and due to dates will miss next pay run as not TOS).
If I am not TOS and have an accident in work am I covered?
NRPS desk are blaming Reg Discharge Desk for not finalising Discharge Action on my Records! I have been told that Records can sit on desks for months a/w final discharge action - even though mine stated "Going NRPS"
Metioned legal action and it was suggested that I may be better off going the PR Route - another letter to Soldier then.
Been told I can have an advance of pay - that will just delay the issue as I will then have to repay the advance.
Any light shed will be most gratefully received a I am fed up with the "can take three months and it's been that way for years!" scenario
