Is it not a case of if you joined more than 2 years prior to April '15 the you stay put on '05, otherwise you're on '15.
This is exciting if true

Have we had any updates on the pension stuff recently?

So it states 3 years then (April '12) not 2. So anyone who joined after April 12 will not a part of the extension until 2022, this is what I'm understanding from this line:https://assets.publishing.service.g...ile/901330/REM-MCCLOUD_CONSULTATION_Final.pdf
Essentially, go back to whatever scheme you were forced to move from till April 2022, then everyone moves to the 15 scheme again.
Interesting ref: the pension stuff above. I'd heard things were afoot but nothing concrete or about how things would lay themselves out for individuals. Does anyone know if this is reflected on the pension calculator now or will there need to be some severe jiggery for that to show the new value?
If you promoted high and quickly, perhaps 15 might even work out better for you.Interesting ref: the pension stuff above.

:edit: OK, OK, I admit I didn't read the above pdf before posting . It seems we'll be given a choice not before April 2022. I might have to break out some dodgy excel later and try to work out the 05 vs 15 for me, the majority of my earnings were from 15 onwards.

My promotion story was neither quick nor high
I've done some quick fag packet maths and it does seem like I'm due more on a mix of 05/15 than I would be at solely 05. This feels wrong, more fag packets required probably.
I had my 6 month point the other day.... for my second RAF career. My first go was 19 years leaving 2016. I don’t yet regret re-joining.

Think yourself lucky, the NHS is in a shambles at the moment but healthcare through the forces will sort you out.Small update. Over a year and a half later I have had laryngoscopy (during exercise), CT scans etc and turns out to be a form of tracheobronchomalacia (EDAC) where the back walls of my trachea and bronchi collapse, may not have asthma though. Been given physio for now to see how I get on.

Isn't there an online Armed Forces pension calculator?I have given up trying to work out my armed forces pension, not that 5 years is a long time, but it was 30 years so perhaps it might pay for my OAP gas bill but thats about it when i retire in another 10 years
I think its changed about 6 times since I left.
