Craig,

As far as I am aware you still have to make HMF aware you intend to take on a second job and in some cases write the CO a letter asking his permission. Not forgetting the tax implications.

Good luck

Craig,

You don't say whether you expect to receive a pension or not? You'll be jepordising this if you take on work before your ROD. If you have family and you are killed before your ROD they receive nothing. You have to be aware that you are paid until your ROD by the Army, you'll find that most companies these days want copies of your discharge papers, red book and a letter from your mum. Ok may be not the letter but, a lot of companies have an understanding with the mil not to take people on until they are discaharged.

If you're looking at CCTV operating in Tescos I doubt anyone will give a toss. If it's security work in Iraq/Afghanistan/Bosnia/Kosovo/Sierra Leone, etc, then you'll be turned away at the interview if you can't produce the right documentation. You aren't allowed to work in a country where there is a British Forces presence (even if it's just a trg team) until you are discharged...

Hope this helps?

Craig,

You are in fact allowed to earn a second wage in your last 3 months, so I have been told by my ressetlement clerk, if you look on the Army Net and go to the Ressetlement part of that then you will be able to get the relevant documentation that needs to be okeyed and signed off by the chain of command. I will look at all my paperwork and try and get you the correct forms.

Regards

Si
