Egoat - feel free to move if you think that this would be better elsewhere.
I have just watched one of my lads a 6'6 bloke who is fcuking good egg, almost in tears due to the fcukwits who run DHE or whatever it is now called.
This blokes girlfriend was previously married to someone in the mob, they split up due to her and my chap getting together (appreciate that you may have a view on this, but this is not the issue that I am addressing here)
Her decree absolute is due the end of this month. after this there is a period of 15 days to be served before they can get married.
They have a 5 month old child together and 6 year old from his girlfriends previous relationship.
DHE are evicting them from her quarter tomorrow, despite the fact that he is posted somewhere hot and sunny for a few years at the end of this month AND he has been doing everything they have asked of him in the run up to this unfortunate 'event'
There is no shortage of quarters at the Brize Ritz, they are currently paying open market price rent. He has offered to transfer the quarter to his name and still pay market price.
Yes we understand that there has to be a process for removing people from quarters as there are people who may manipulate the system.
This is a genuine case, they are not asking for the world, they are getting married, it is just paperwork that is stopping them for another month.
And yet DHE, an agency which is here to support US, are so buracratic that common sense has gone for a long walk, and left one of our own feeling as though the world as falling out of his harris.
Before you ask, yes we have gone through the chain of command, and the Station has been told it is not his trainset to get involved with!
I for one am absolutely gobsmacked that this can happen in todays Airforce/Military.
Could be worth watching the news tomorrow evening for some more bad press for DHE, the RAF and the government not looking after its troops.
Your thoughts please, do you agree or am I and the rest of my office out of line?
