Ok Question mainly for Army guys really.

On the resettlement u have 3 rail warrents to use. So i want to use them to go home for the weekend. Tho the admin office said i cant. Only use to go back to my unit. Which doesnt make sence as i handed in my room and kit. My home in North wales and my old regiment in London and the course in essex. So i cant use them to go home then? Or can i?

I have one entitled rail warrent to use as well but i using that after my course to go home.

anyhow info on this?

I was never any good with orderly room politics, however it might be worth talking to another admin office (outside your usual chain of command) to see if it can be wangled and your admin is just trying to get rid of you.

I'm fairly sure you can only do it if you can somehow get them to see that your home is on the route back to your unit, or get them to just be reasonable (good luck with that).

Chances are because North Wales is waaaay out of the way from your course and parent unit, any admin type who has to sign the warrant will be very reluctant to do so.

i got an answer from www.arrse.co.uk

0317. Individual Resettlement Preparation (IRP). IRP is defined as GRT used for resettlement activities that do not fall into the other categories. As a guideline, IRP should be interpreted in the broadest sense for resettlement purposes and may include periods spent applying for jobs, attending interviews, employment and recruitment fairs and preparing CVs. IRP may also be used for activities related to house purchase and relocating children in schools. No allowances can be claimed for IRP except GRT travel warrants (para 0502). IRP may be undertaken at any stage during resettlement but normally within the last 9 months of service.

which basicly i can go home but i be looking for a job anyhow so they are wrong.
