I'm hoping someone can shed some light.
In Jan of this year, my work circumstance changed and I was faced with a tough decision, as to stay in, and possibly not be able to participate in training due to professional commitments, or request a release. As I didn't wish to waste my Regiments time, I sent a memo to my CoC for Voluntary release.
As of March I had heard no response at all from the Rgt. In early April one of the clerks gave me a call about kit return. I made the necessary arrangements, and did so. At the time, no one had given me any paperwork, or any correspondence whatsoever.
At the conclusion of the Summer I had a very long meeting with my civvy boss, and he confirmed that things will remain as they were previously. As I had no contact from anyone in the rgt with respect to release paperwork, I sent a memo to my CoC indicating my change in circumstance, and inquiring as to whether or not a return to training could be facilitated. They indicated in the affirmative, and that I would have to meet with the RSM.
Today I received a call from the ROR, and they indicated they'd like me at the armouries next week to sign the papers for my release ( since apparently they had initiated the process) and there were no slots at the regiment available. They also indicated that I could meet with the RSM to discuss this, if he wished to stop the process.
I'm just wondering if I should hold off on signing the release until I speak with the RSM? If indeed, no paperwork has been signed by myself, nor have any of the procedures for an NES 5f been followed, am I technically not released?
