I'm after some advice / opinons on what you would do in this situation.
Some of you might know I was a Special for a few months, due to the way I was treated, I left, I was given two options, either resign and come back later, or be dismissed. The reasons where.
I said I didn't like using the phone - jokey comment to another officer
My handwriting was untidy in my pocket notebook - It was a little bit, but it was still readable
I asked how to spell Salisbury - Can't really explain this one lol.
I didn't say what I needed to do in my folder to get signed off as independent until near the end of the shift - Fair enough, but was with someone who wasn't really pro-active and spent most her time going round friends for tea and coffee.
I went to a meeting with what I thought was my welfare officer to talk things though, but he was told I was going to see him to resign. Which wasn't true. I only found this out on Tuesday. Month or so after I resigned.
I wrote a letter of complaint about the way I had been treated, saying I didn't felt it was fair, being picked up on stupid things, it got passed onto an Inspector, who came round to see me on Tuesday, and basically said they had no reason to dismiss me, no evidence to show that I wasn't able to do the job.
He said that if I wanted to, I could go back, would be able to join a different station and division, and get a fresh start as such.
Now, this is where I need some advice.
I've been thinking about joining the Army, started loosing some weight to start my application, and generally like the idea of a few things in the Army, been looking at the Mil Police and maybe something to do with Diving (scuba).
I'm not sure what I want to do, part of me wants to go back to being a Special, as I really enjoyed it, but part of me doesn't want to, due to the way I was treated.
If you where me, what would you do?
