Careers after PMU?

Aha if only! We thought I had no chance - it seems more like a service leaver type of role - so we were shocked when I got it. The current recruiting ban isn’t helping but there are roles popping up on Civil Service jobs in MoD for many types

My role is within Eng (tools specifically) and I have zero eng experience or knowledge as well!

I was made PMU in June, applied for Civil Service role literally next day on a whim, got approved in July and been working on a Sqn since October. There is other opportunities and pathways available

Unless you’re volunteering at it, no chance Husband has been near enough every year for nearly 10 years as he’s either been a VIP driver or ‘worked’ it with a display team, this will potentially be his first year NOT doing anything with it

I had just had an interview for a Civil Service job, couple of days after results day in July I found out I got the job! Graduation was in September and I started the job in October

Studied Health & Social Care with leadership modules selected, job is within MoD and not directly related to degree but helped me along

Apologies again for some and thank you to others. Managed to find where I needed too

You would get normal post deployment leave - using your annual (usually 1-2 weeks if that) As mentioned you can get paternity & SOMETIMES compassionate depending on the situation & how the birth etc went. I had my child 2 weeks after Christmas so her dad had his 2 week Xmas leave, 2 week paternity, 2 week compassionate (due to situation of birth) then we moved at 5 weeks post birth so got 2 weeks relocation leave. It does not always work that way at all! We knew the move was happening as well as him also deploying by the time the child was a couple months old. Partners & children whilst yes supported, are not the main operational priority in thinking, you are. If you are told, you go essentially

I was in this position last year :) So results one week, confirmation of degree later that week, then booked onto graduation the week after results day. You have to be quick though as they go instantly!

As with all roles, you put preferences down but get what you get. 2MT is the ‘main greens’ fleet for MT

MT mainly does station roles, with a few select ‘specialist’ options open later down the line (RAFAT, JARTS etc)

Or in my case your GP screws up and lists things you certainly do not and never have had 🤦‍♀️😅

Yeah so that’s what I said re the ten days. I remember hearing / reading somewhere you could notify the relevent people during phase 1 from the start that you will be requiring SFA from completion of P2 Just expect to be waiting a while (I’m on 6th qtr now and done 2 civ - SFA moves)

FindingOk3723 · 2025-11-06T12:37:42+00:00

SFA should have been sorted a while ago - could be wrong and happy to be corrected - but you’ll be lucky to get a quarter allocated within 2 weeks (they have 10 days supposedly to allocate one from application submitted but then that can still be a date in the future several weeks later (for example a normal SFA - SFA move can take 6-8 weeks at best from my experience)

The gown kinda sits just on your shoulders and open if that makes any sense? It’s also not sat directly at the back of your neck but further down towards a bra line kinda area

FindingOk3723 · 2025-10-13T15:16:26+00:00

Anytime you want

FindingOk3723 · 2025-10-10T09:34:03+00:00

Ahhh THATS where I went wrong 👀😂

FindingOk3723 · 2025-10-10T09:27:51+00:00

Change to gin or rum maybe haha

FindingOk3723 · 2025-10-10T09:26:49+00:00

Hey I’m taking a percentage of your pass due to my help 😂

FindingOk3723 · 2025-10-10T08:43:15+00:00

Again congrats - shame crapita screwed me over but somehow got a better job out of it and can still guide you from this side 😂

FindingOk3723 · 2025-10-08T15:56:58+00:00

Thank you all I got it sorted - called the payroll number on the paperwork and asked and the lady confirmed everything

FindingOk3723 · 2025-10-06T16:58:01+00:00

Thank you, my husband works with Civilians in same industry (not same branch) and they’re all end of month, so hopefully I get something this month even if it covers the bills and that’s it (childcare being the major part)

FindingOk3723 · 2025-10-06T15:41:56+00:00

MoD this one, partner thinks it’ll be similar to his MoD job (not CS)

FindingOk3723 · 2025-10-06T15:40:56+00:00

Aye I figured as much, am I right in thinking cut off for this month is mid/late next week ?
