SECTION VIII<br />

RETENTION OF SFA/SSFA<br />

0822. Circumstances where retention <strong>of</strong> SFA/SSFA on assignment. Whilst the<br />

assignment, it is admissible in certain circumstances and for specified periods <strong>of</strong> time for<br />

personnel to apply to the HASC to retain their SFA/SSFA at their previous duty station<br />

beyond the date <strong>of</strong> assignment as an extension <strong>of</strong> their entitlement (Para 0322). The<br />

duration <strong>of</strong> the retention should in all cases be specified, restricted to the minimum period<br />

necessary, and not exceed a period <strong>of</strong> 12 months (except VCDS 45 Minute List<br />
