    Single Quarters & Rations (R&Q) [MERGED]

    I thought that the pension contributions were now 6.85% on the first $51100 per year and 9.2% on anything above that, then again a private would only be concerned with the 6.85%, I believe the rates have changed due to moving to the new 50/50 contribution plan. 1 edit due to a damn international...

    DAA, yes they have, additional forms faxed in, currently waiting for Guarda hopefully they completed last week, I know that they contacted as least one of my references.

    Wjones, I fully understand what you are feeling, I believe that they will still require your core documents, birth certificate and school transcripts, besides could it hurt to send them regardless? As for myself 37 days and counting as of today.
