Does anybody know the rules etc regarding this.
I have heard of a few people being granted it in the past, it actually seems more popular or obtainable in the other services.
My facts are I am a SNCO in for LOS 30, presently overseas and in a trade that hasn't been affected by redundancies etc.
I am sitting on the fence (read having a mid life crisis) and I am totally unsure of what my next move is.
Taking a sabattical was suggested to me, I know it can be quite common in some sectors in civvy st.
The only fact I know is that you are not allowed to earn any income if a sabattical is granted.
I realise that this may come over as having my cake & eating it, especially in light of other trades fighting to perhaps keep their careers. But I work on the theory of if you dont ask, you dont get and keep your options open.
Thanks in advance for any genuine replies.
