wymberley Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 'ere, that was good! Mentioned a while back about the new renewal system - they send out the forms as usual and your referees do their bit with the FAC but you don't send anything back as they come to you. FEO (mature, knowledgeable and sensible lady) turned up and did the usual but checked my forms were correctly completed and filled in all her paperwork. This meant that she'd seen what I'd written and vice versa so the chance of any errors were negligible - the forms that she completed were laid out as per the actual certificates so what you see is what you get. This just has to be more efficient: Just as well really, from what she was saying they're up to neck. Apparently these guys are better paid than many of the other civilian staff so, naturally, are targets for any cost saving exercise and they're already understaffed as it is. Cheers PS Still preferred the young dolly blonde though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Fox Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 They have been doing this for a while now - did you pass over ref forms as well ?, she asked if I would hang onto mine and pass to her when we met up? Did you have Di or Samantha? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
