Good evening,
I’m posting this thread as a continuation to a previous thread (with a similar title) in hopes of getting further answers.
My present situation is this;
Myself and a fellow squaddie are reserve soldiers currently attached to a regular battalion on force protection operations in Cyprus. We were not mobilised/deployed before going overseas.
We have been told that we are entitled to Temporary LOA (we do not qualify for full since we will not be overseas for <182 days) however our parent unit has said that we will not be entitled to LSA in line with our regular counterparts
This is because we are currently under the terms of Voluntary Training Other Duties, which under JSP 752 10.0107 H, states that reserve soldiers are not entitled to LSA under the terms of VTOD.
My questions are such;
-Can the “Other Duties” in VTOD include being on Operations ?
- If not should I be on an Additional Duties Commitment ?
-Finally since we are having no luck with our own parent unit, to whom should can we raise this issue ? (Service complaint ?)
Many thanks for reading,
