Our posting isnt up until 2014 so this is our first year of our time in Townsville but DH is looking at transfering into the RAAF so we could be posting out again next year if it all goes through and they dont need us here.

Choc, definitely frustrating when you have school to organise! Im dreading having to search for private schools with 5 minutes notice of posting and without housing allocation.

They allocate postings being released in order of rank and job position, and sometimes locality, so there really is no set time, its just between July-December.
