R.A.F. SHORT SERVICE COMMISSIONS Openings for Retired Officers of Other Services THE Air Ministry announces that the Air Council have decided to offer a certain number of short service commissions in the General Duties Branch of the Royal Air Force to officers of ^ the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Army retired under the special retirement schemes as being surplus to the require- ments of those services. The Council hope that by this means officers whose careers in a fighting service would otherwise be terminated may be enabled to continue for a further period in the service of the State. The following is a general outline of the conditions :— The officers who are eligible for such commissions are executive officers of the Royal Navy and officers of the Royal Marines retired under the terms of Admiralty Fleet Order No. 1358 of May 12, 1922, and officers of combatant branches of the British Army retired under the terms of Army Order 179 of 1922. They must not exceed the age of 26 at the time of entry into the Royal Air Force and must be physically fit for full flying duties. Employment will be for seven years on the active list, on the completion of which officers will be under no obligation of reserve service in the Royal Air Force. The Admiralty and War Office have agreed to suspend the liability of these officers to recall to their parent service during an emergency for such period as they are in Royal Air Force Service. Officers will be granted commissions in the General Duties Branch of the Royal Air Force as Flying Officers. The Air Council reserve the right to dispense with the services of any officer who is reported as not being likely to make an efficient Royal Air Force officer during his period of instruction. Such officer would automatically revert to his status in the Regular Army Reserve of Officers. ':-:.•/ 41 During this period officers may wear either Royal Air Force uniform or the uniform of their former service. On completion of their course of instruction they will be required to wear Royal Air Force uniform, and will be paid an allowance of ^25. Officers will be eligible for promotion in the Royal Air Force in which force promotion is by selection. They will also be eligible under certain conditions for transfer to a permanent commission in the Royal Air Force ; such trans- fers are, however, necessarily made very sparingly. Officers who held the substantive rank of Lieutenant in the Royal Navy or Captain in the Royal Marines or the Army will be eligible for the grant of honorary rank as Flight Lieutenant if recommended by their Commanding Officers at any time after completing their training courses. Officers will receive the pay and allowances of their sub- stantive rank in the Royal Air Force, and will be eligible under Air Force regulations for terminal gratuity at the rate of £75 for each year of service on their short service com- missions. Officers will be allowed to enjoy the benefits of any gratuity drawn by them on retirement from the Royal Navy, Royal Marines or Army without any deductions from their Air Force pay in respect of the annuity value of such gratuity. Any retired pay in respect of naval or army service will be sus- pended during their Royal Air Force service, but will be resumed (without any increase for further length of service) on leaving the Royal Air Force. Officers who have commuted their retired pay or a portion of it will be dealt with under special regulations. Forms of application may be obtained by applying in writing to the Secretary, Air Ministry (S.7.) Kingsway, W.C.2.
