Re: Average Trip lengths..

Yeah the RFA 2/O at Dartmouth has stayed in the RNR, and a lad on our course was told he wouldn't really be able to go and do the weekend warrior training with the RM because of the whole SR thing and not being able to be on two reserve lists.

I was hoping to keep on as a reservist, but due to the working routine I cant see it been possible!

All new joiners to the RFA are sponsored reservists, receive ?300 a year for that and get a call-out bonus if ever activated. We won't see SR status activated outside of a big shooting war. It certainly wasn't for units operating up the NAG in recent years, though might have been for Telic Pt. 1 if it had been in place at the time.

If memory serves SR status was activated for a couple of the AWSR ships during Telic 1.
Their training bounty is higher, ranging from ?400 for year 1, to ?1700 for year 5, i.e. the same as normal RNR.
RFA bounty is lower due to the "RFA Factor" arrangement already in place.
