Hello all,
I’m currently on a squadron in the North East region, however it looks as if I’m going to have to transfer to the south east to be closer to my family.
Does anyone know what this process looks like? and how easy/quick it all goes through?
Thanks!
The first thing to do is to get in touch with the Sqn that you are looking to transfer to - have a chat with both your OC and your new OC (not necessarily together but at the minimum let each of them know about what’s going on).
Once that’s all settled, fill in a Pers Form 1-04 and email it to your OC - they will take care of the rest and you can start at your new unit on the date you’ve agreed. It is relatively painless and quick, at least in my experience if done right.
(Note: The transfer request must originate from your email address for the audit trail)
Thank you, that makes it slightly less stressful.
In terms of submitting pers 1-04, does this need to be done from my personal email address on file, or does it need to be done through my RAFAC address?
As long as its an email address that is attributed to you, it will be fine. Either email would be accepted in your case (though I would probably use the RAFAC one - just my personal choice).
