Referees: what if referee is retired?

Post by wunder » Wed Mar 17, 2010 2:11 am

One of the people I could potentially ask to be my referee is a "member of Her Majesty's Armed Forces" - but she's retired (for nearly 10 years now). Is this acceptable still? :oops:

Yes, I've seen this already. This document does not clarify the retirement situation.

What if the person in question is not an officer but a sergeant?

Officer of the Armed Forces retired or otherwise does not apply if the referee in question is a sergeant and under the list it just says member of Armed forces, does not say retired so on that basis I would say she is not qualified to be a referee
