If you remember last year I had a bit of a fight to keep my job in the RAAF. I won my appeal in september/october with the comment that they (the RAAF Medical board) would re-assess my case in 6 months. We'll those 6 months have been and gone in March and they have been a bit behind So I have been sweating untill NOW. Just got told today that I'm good to go and have been put on full deployment status. That means I've won, I'm keeping my job and a HUGE weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

Fantastic,

I had some problems with my foot when I first came in the Navy 17 years ago. They figured it out on an x-ray, and I "lost" the x-ray on the way back to my home base.

Thank goodness that didn't happen today, with all that technology the bastards know before the end of a minuite what your bones look like. And you don't even have to be in the same nation.

Congratulations on getting to stay in. Seems like it is always a battle.

That and we have Obama's downsizing efforts to contend with. Who downsizes the military with two wars going on?

Congratulations on keeping your job. Always a good feeling when you have a win.

Congrats, Bakes! It's hard to beat bureaucrats. It does my heart good to see a win once in a while.

Thanks guys. Its a huge relief.

Nice going.

Good on ya mate . I knew once you grew some hair and stopped letting your missus choose your clothes that you would come out a winner.....

Nice one Bakes!!

So when do they ship you out, you fat bastard?
Bakes,

Understandable , Rob - but can he stick to the lines or does he run over the edges with his crayon technique?

Why do you think he hasn't made three stripes yet?
He failed his colouring-in exam!

No its not that. The reason for the above is that I keep telling my Bosses what I think. Should keep my mouth shut

Bakes,
Don't criticize them when they colour in over the lines and you will make Air Marshal before you know it.
Stuff in mail today. If I can find some colouring-in books with sheep I'll mail them to Muzza
rob

Just bought some sheepskin coves for my 4WD.Do I need to notify the NZ consulate?
Bakes,

Thanks Rich.

Muzza, not all mate. My SGT was a kiwi. He got jack of her and put in his discharge. He'd done his twenty and had had enough of her crap. Lost a good dog handler and a good bloke.

Thanks Rob.

Bakes, good news.

Hope the house is progressing well.

Cheers, Chris

Yeah its comming along. Builder said it would be completed by 31 October. I just spent the morning putting up some insulation and I'm ichy as hell

Good news Bakes! How long do you have before you reach 20 or whatever the retirement time is?

Hey Ron. Retirement age is 55, so I still have 15 years before then. My 20 is up on the 8 Febuary 2014.
