Just a quick question, probably for you shiney types out there. Can the warrants available for my wife to visit family when I'm OOA be transferred to her parents? We have a young baby at home and she doesn't feel like she could manage to travel the 400 miles to visit her parents with him. Her parents are able to make the journey to her but money is tight as they are both pensioners. If they could use the warrant to come and help out over my det it would make a huge difference. They have already said they will come up once anyway but they would like to make the journey twice if they can.
There is nowhere really for my family to stay at the wives parents any more either, her old bedroom changed use a fair few years ago.
 
Good question Joe, btw - I wasn't even aware my wife could claim for travel warrants? i'm due to leave on a 4 monther imminently.
 
Talk to your PSF, she is entitled to two return warrants. My PSF at Leuchars has been really good letting people know (credit where it's due) they even put in my preps the steps to go through to claim them.

Simple answer is yes mate, speak to PSF:PDT_Xtremez_14:
 
JSP 752, Chap 4, Sec 15


CTF is there to let your immediate family visit your close family, to enjoy their support in your absence.

There is also reverse ctf - which lets two members of your close family travel to meet your immediate family.




As always - the singlies lose out - with no entitlement to CTF unless they have kids.
 
Why would the singlies need them? Think about what they are for, by definition the singlies have no-one who can use them.
 
and the singley that was OOA, would not have left anyone behind to visit.
 
fishing?

As always the singlies don't have parents who have to come 50 miles to baby sit every other weekend as the partner works nights/ weekends.
And the singlies don't have to double childcare costs for before/ after school clubs.
And the singlies don't get grief from a lonely and worried partner stuck in some hole away from family.

Moreover, they haven't got a wife at home spending an OP bonus you haven't even been paid yet :PDT_Xtremez_42::PDT_Xtremez_31:
 
I know it's gone a bit OT - but I hope I at least gave some helpful gen first :)


When I go OOA my lass (who I live with, pay for a house together with, have been with for several years and is my nominated emergency contact) doesn't get the same support as a spouse would. In fact she gets pretty much none of it. As emergency contact she counts as "close family" but not "immediate family".

Officially, as a singly with no kids I have no "Immediate family". None.
