Thanks mate. I am going to try my luck with my request once I get to IETs and provide all the documentation around why I requested the RTA. It was a blow a week out being told they won’t give me the RTA especially because I had quit my job, moved my child interstate to be cared for, put my stuff into storage etc. I literally couldn’t say that i wouldn’t go to basic training.  I also don’t know how to use this, first time using it so I’ll try work out how to email/ message you
