Sorry but not true. You can begin your convex once commissioned and as long as you complete your IOC within 1 year.
Yes they do. Its Pers Form 1-11. We have 2 VRT officers that are supernumary on ATC units and one RAFAC Adult Sgt that is supernumerary with us as ground support.
Only going on personal experience. I think it depends which wing you end up dealing with that makes the difference. Asked originally to complete SI paperwork which was bounced by HQ and then supernumerary paperwork a few months later. The wing admin staff didnât seem to have a clue as to how to deal with it? I have email correspondence from Pers HQRAFAC stating there isnât any way of creating a Bader account for a supernumerary VR(T) officer. They (wing) have to create your account as an RAFAC officer, so itâs a âfudgeâ.
I stand corrected, but this is the process one of our joiners went through a couple of years ago. Having said that it was during the pandemic?
