    circumstances?...none its all down to the OR & ED is NEVER a guarantee unfortunatley..(although....plain brown envelope stuffed with used notes "may" help)

    5 months something is the quickest discharge. It all depends on how busy ORs offices are. There is nothing you can do to speed things along and I believe ED is not going to be available soon. 12 months isn't long in the scheme of things so I wouldn't even think of ED, if it comes then its a bonus.

    from the point of view of effect, I cannot see any advantage...apart from kudos, in my receiving early discharge.....I don't 'do' the lottery.....and there's nobody left out of my family who could 'leave' me anything.....I still have to pay my NT IPA until April next....so any overtime simply has the equivalent of tax deducted by Moonybeevers.......so...all-in-all, little to be gained....
    No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......

    because the time involved in processing paperwork etc for ED can be better spent elsewhere....
