Within the reserves you are not required to meet the 50% and above attendance requirements and are able to fill in for people that are on Leave of Absence (LOA) on any given Operation Night. However, as a reservist you are expected to attend once per month. If you go 3 months without attending any official nights you may be discharged. Reservists will keep their substantive rank, but will lose all Acting Rank, yet there is no guarantee they can return in the previous rank when returning from reserves as outlined in Section 2-4.

This is due to the nature of the position of responsibility that they hold within the 4th Infantry Brigade. If the Officer Commanding wishes to discharge, they are requested to notify the existing Company HQ of their intentions so that suitable replacements can be arranged. If a member wishes to discharge immediately then this option is available but this will negatively affect the unit as a whole however if the member wishes to return their application will be subject to extensive review by Company HQ. If requesting a discharge from the 4th Infantry Brigade, you must ask exactly that. You cannot request Retirement. Retirement member status will be granted by Company HQ, and will be judged case by case. Registered Member
2-10. Leave Of Absence (LOA) Procedures A leave of absence is required from all members of the 4th Infantry Brigade where they have prior knowledge that they will not be able to attend a mandatory event. Each Section/Detachment has its own area of the forums for Leave of Absences to be posted and the required format. All LOA’s must be notified via the forums no later than 3 hours prior to the current start time of 1900 GMT. When a member fails to submit an LOA for a mandatory event the following actions are to be taken: 1st AWOL offence:
Leave of Absences must also be posted to notify Command Staff of expected late attendance. Please estimate where possible the expected time of arrival. Leave of Absences can be posted for up to 21 days. Anything more than 21 days will constitute an Extended Leave of Absence as outlined in Section 2-7. Upon the member's return we will try to place you back in the same role that you left, however this cannot always be guaranteed as outlined in Section 2-4. Unforeseen Leave Of Absences can be posted after this time period, or after the event to inform the Chain of Command (CoC) the reason for the delayed or lack of a Leave Of Absence. The Platoon HQ reserve the right to act out Section 7.2 AGAI 67 Mi 8. if the reasoning is not just. 2-11 Company HQ Discharge and Transfers (Not 4th IB material) Company HQ can at anytime review any member and decide if that member is meeting or is likely to meet all SOP or AGAI requirements and if not, Company HQ can then process that member under Section 2-11 in accordance of Section 7-2 AGAI 67. This is to stop further offences being committed and is within the best interest of the unit. Lieutenant. P. Siddy Pilot/ Co - Pilot, Talon 1-1 661 Squadron, 1 Regiment, Army Air Corps         |
