I'm due my first child in May and want to be closer to home as being in Germany means I wouldnt be able to be home half as much as I would want or like!

I've only been in Germany as few months and havent been in the Army long, meaning that me being a 'lowly' soldier, would it be more likely that I'm more dispendable and they're more likely to allow me to change posting? Also, I'm unfamiliar with who to see about moving back to UK, would I start with troop staff, battery staff or welfare?

Much appreciated.

Hiya,

My advice would be to speak to your boss first before going to Welfare. I can't really see a welfare issue in your case, to be honest. I know that's not what you want to hear, sorry

Being so new in the army would be a disadvantage on being sent home I would imagine as being away from home is something you will have to get used to and being posted so far from home on your first posting is pretty normal to aide getting used to being away from family and friends (in my experience anyway)

Alternative is get married and your wife can come to you

What part of Germany are you in? I'm over here to

That's my post, I'd forgotten my password to my proper account.

I would think the posting would depend on what unit you are serving with.
