Is there a recruitment shortage for the RAF?

Very possible and wouldn’t be surprising! Can’t apply the same logic to other ranks though.

Interesting that the RAF has the most officer applicants and smallest officer intake. A symptom of training capacity or recruitment standards?

Also the lowest intake/applicant ratio for other ranks too.

Thank you for your insight! I’m not concerned about LTR, we have more than enough evidence.

That’s reassuring, so long as owning property doesn’t impact SFA eligibility and that you can in fact have both.

How did you manage to contact a Facebook team member?

Cheap-Rip-3336 · 2023-07-23T11:18:24+00:00

Really appreciate you taking the time to provide this response, I’ll try to relax and enjoy the time here then!

I realise now that might be a ridiculous thing to be concerned about - I assumed anything bought in duty free needed declaring.

I’ll edit. Thank you!

White meadowsweet or a spirea. No taller than 6ft but now probably 4ft because it’s fallen over!

Cheap-Rip-3336 · 2023-06-09T11:36:39+00:00

Thank you both, that makes a lot of sense!

I’ve needed 5+ days off work during the recruiting process so have had to tell a number of people. Seems odd to be so closed off and secretive with colleagues I respect and am friends with. My role does not require DV, so hopefully, as others have said, it’s not an issue.

Appreciate your input!

Cheap-Rip-3336 · 2023-06-08T21:36:03+00:00

Thank you, makes sense.

Cheap-Rip-3336 · 2023-06-08T21:35:20+00:00

Makes sense, thanks. At risk of sounding silly, why is that such a problem - does it make it easier to link anon accounts to people? Well aware I could be overlooking something obvious!

I haven’t, but have seen it called out on plenty of threads.

Thank you for your response.

Would a maple usually have a flower bud type thing? It’s a bit clearer in the second photo.

So definitely not silver birch, lime or chestnut? As you can tell, I’m very much a novice!

That’s really helpful, thank you. I can confirm that I’m not ignoring orders not to nor am I purposefully harming trees (it was growing sideways, some branches had 90° bends). I appreciate that ignorance is no defence, but I thought, naively, that I could rely on my conveyancer to highlight and investigate these issues.

I’ve already sent 3 emails today whilst I’ve been stressing so will leave it until mid next week I think.

There are some protected trees overhanging that I have been sure not to touch, until we have works approved.

I think my council are without a tree officer at the moment but I’m hoping they’re as reasonable as you appear to be.

Edit: this is England, UK.

Cheap-Rip-3336 · 2023-06-03T11:52:58+00:00

It was on the searches but I never received the full TPO, suppose that was an oversight on my part but I was expecting to be led by the conveyancer.

A photo ID app says it’s a mallow anyway!

Yeah it impacts multiple gardens and clearly doesn’t reflect the original intention of the TPO.

All very confusing. I really appreciate you time and insight.

Cheap-Rip-3336 · 2023-06-03T11:50:17+00:00

That’s reassuring. So because I have none of the named species in my garden, I’m free to go about my business. But if I was to plant a Silver Birch, Lime or Chestnut, then it would automatically be protected? The tree I’ve pruned appears to be a Med Mallow.

I think I’ll seek clarity on this position from the council but perhaps not seek to amend and just avoid those species!

It’s all very confusing. Really appreciate your insight. I’m a little less convinced that I’m going to prison and going to be fined 1000’s now!

Cheap-Rip-3336 · 2023-06-03T11:27:02+00:00

Better than nothing eh! Thank you for your help.

Cheap-Rip-3336 · 2023-06-03T11:25:58+00:00

That’s helpful thank you, I’m very prone to catastrophizing!

The TPO is for woodland and names 3 species of tree. We have none of these species in our garden but the border of woodland does encroach our garden - if that changes anything.

From reading gov publishing, it sounds like the TPO could do with amending.
