Does this take into account the fact that the huge majority of TG1 OOAs are as formed units so there are very few DWR slots to go around?

No it doesn't, but it allows people to massage figures to suit an argument....

That says to me that there are a lot of 2nd Line Posts that could be civilianised

No what it says is there are hardly any NFU IA TG1 posts for two out of the three trades in TG1. It proves nothing else....

Strange...all the recently promoted Chiefs that I personally know have not been nominated for an OOA, but every single one of them had done some serious amount of time in Kandahar with the Harrier Dets in the past 6 years. Ady has already said that his last OOA was 1999 (12 yrs ago), so I suspect that he was very close to the top of the DWR list for Sgt ATM, hence a 12 month grace when he got promoted because he was moving into a rank that has a TRT of only 7 years, so naturally he'd be at the top of that list.

Billy Whizz - Do you fit into that category, or is my theory completely wrong?

Your theory seems to be bow larks, Manning told me they dick every new Chief after 12 months in post, I personally know 3 newly promoted chiefs that this has happened to, me being the 4th. Now back on TOPIC!
 
I find it hard to believe with less than 24hrs to go that there has been zero information seepage....

Can pretty much agree with that - arrived at Wyton with my CT and got the OOA notification with my arrival chit - so did many others.

Manning must not like you as it isn't their policy. I arrived at Wyton in 09 with my CT. I went there from a Harrier Sqn and I'd spent some 'serious' time in Kandahar between 2005-09.

Anyhow, back on thread, hope the announcement tomorrow is less drastic for the ATM's than T1. I know a few good (fit) people that got caught up in the first round that didn't deserve it and I would gladly replace them with the biffs that do; if only the board could see them in action at the coalface I'm sure there would be different results.

If you spent time as a UMO before going to Wyton, then you are one of the personnel I was using as an example - the other being your successor, who has also got his Chief without incurring a DWR in the process!

Was back in 2005 - my up to date example being a CT TG1 who got his despite having just come off Helicopters with loads of OOA Dets under his belt.
 
Back on Thread - with TG1 AV about 200+ overmanned, I'd be surprised if they weren't hit as hard this time round as Mech TG1 were in Tranche 1.
 
does anyone have a link where we can see the info when released?

Ideally a normal internet one rather than DII only as I'm not in work this week

Not sure, but didn't the RAF Families website put it on their website (or FaceBook page) a couple of hours after the last tranche was announced?

I'm sure someone will put a quick break down on this very fine rumour site... not long after it gets announced!
