OK, so I’m resigning… My OC is an AWO (I’m an officer!) how do I format the letter?
Dear OC.
I’m resigning.
Love and Kisses.
JB?
But seriously, just address it to “Dear WO Bloggs. This letter is to inform you of my intention to resign, effective from date. Thank you, James.”
[quote]Dear WO Bloggs,

JSP 101 is your friend 
But seriously, nobody is going to reject your letter if it’s in the incorrect format. If they do I do I don’t blame you for resigning.
How come btw?
Why write a letter, stick in the resignation proforma and leave it at that.
I’m puzzled how a WO can be in command of an officer?
Anyway, it’s sad that someone who has clearly enjoyed their time in the adult staff cadre now feels that the frustrations are such that they have no alternative but to go!
Actually, I’d probably write to my OC Wing, something like;
Sir
It is with regret (if of course you do regret it) that I have to inform you of my intent to resign my commission in the RAFVR(T) with effect from xxx. I have found it difficult to balance my private life etc etc, I have become increasingly disillusioned with the Corps etc etc. I will submit my resignation proforma in due course.
Yours etc
As has been said, JSP101 should tell you, but I’d probably explain why I was going, after all, they may be able to do something about the underlying reasons for your departure.
And MattB , it goes without saying that every officer and gentleman should know how to duel! And also when to find a glass of fine port and the Mess revolver!
I would suggest that you write to OC wing or your sector WSO if you have one.
JSP 101 short ‘Sorry, I’m off, heres the form and my Mod 90’ type of affair.
Speak to the WO and let him know you are going, out of courtesy if nothing else.
Job done.
Sorry to see you go.
