DWR waiting times

[I Look Like Kevin Costner]

I've had a chorker!! :raf: DWR for Al Udeid 20 months before LTA date (16 before Reserve). How long are other people being nobbled in advance? (I WILL BE PVRing, Cats will be gone and I have other plans, this was the straw that broken the camels back!)

Last time I was DWR'd I got a signal giving me 18 months notice - less than 3 weeks later I was in the departures lounge at Nize Brorton

Time flies when you're enjoying yourself

Perhaps I'm being cynical but maybe it's PMAs way of bypassing the DWR credits system. If you deploy more than 90 days over the next 12 months.... tough, your DWR still stands because you had already been informed and it's 'your' fault that you have been deployed since (because 'Excuse me sir, but I can't go to (insert sh1thole here) because I'm DWR'd' will always get you off a det)

Sorry mate, I did one with 16 hours notice (the day England won in Cardiff for the first time in 27 Years!)

Anyway I've already been away from from the wife and kids 180 days since April, on a unit that has only had a limited shelf life and was not the move to drag them with me. Nobody knows WTF is going on with their lives at the moment and while we should hear sooner than later, we all have to face the PMA lottery again!!DT_Xtremez_25:

I take it the choice not to move your family was your idea....so 180 days is your fault...I would love to have had 18 months notice before my OOAs and "the deed" aint that bad is it!!! Could always do top cover in Basra!!!

I came to Bosnia with 5 weeks notice, most of which was taken up with pre-deployment training.

BTW, if you PVR now, you will still have to complete your OOA commitment. Them's the rules.

I really can't see what you are complaining about, beats the hell out of 6 weeks notice IMHO.

Not DWR, but my old Sqn has a permanent OOA commitment met by a regular turnover of Sqn manpower (roughly 2 mnths on 4 off depending on rank/trade). I spent most of my 90 day promotion and posting lead time out there, managed to get home 10 days before I moved. Mrs TLS was NOT a happy bunnyDT_Xtremez_08:

I don't think they'll stop you leaving, they'll just bring your OOA forward. Might work to your advantage.

I just found out I was going to the falklands today, I leave in less than 2 weeks time. I got told I was going as I handed in my PVR, what a bummer to otherwise great day.

If they do, good. I did the preps on Friday and all the agenicies were laughed at the timescale (every thing they signed for would be out of date!). PVR paperwork is just waiting to find out destiny of the Cats. Hopefully this week!!
