Many thanks Ido, much appreciated. I will pass this on to my colleague in Cyprus straight away and ask for the list of participants.
Ido & Northern Europe - I do have one question for you both as Ronnie has advised that the Defence Attache in Nicosia seemed to think
there were 2 candidates coming from Israel instead of one – please could you advise when you have a chance to clarify?
Unfortunately I am working over the holiday as after my 2 week holiday I have chance to catch up, but I hope you’re all enjoying the
new year holidays.
Shana Tova!

Dear Lucy,
Happy Rosh Hashanah,

Do you by any chance have the list of participants that will be there with him?
His details are as follows:

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
In order to get everything finalized on our end please let me know as soon as the final details are set up so I can send them to the
MOD.
Have a sweet and wonderful weekend and holiday.
(and as always, coffee's /tea's on me when you visit us at Glilot).

Dear Ido,
As discussed, please see draft programme for SLP in Cyprus. Other information will follow.
My colleague is just going to confirm if I can book the flights for LTC Ofir Ben David or they need to do it their end. In the meantime please could you pass on the
attached draft program to him and provide some details so that we can book his flights from Ben Gurion airport to Cyprus:
Full name (as stated on his passport)
Passport number
Passport expiry
Contact number
Any dietary requirements
As soon as I get the information I will look up the flight options and check he’s content before we book.
Many thanks

Good afternoon Ruth,
Ronnie has asked me to get in touch with you regarding the Israeli Candidate on the SLP course in October.
Please could you advise what information you need from us to add him on the course and also if you have any further details on the course arrangements, i.e. location,
timings, recommended accommodation, transport etc?
Please could you let me know when you have a chance.
Many thanks

Ruth,
Is there an application form that you need the Israeli attendee on the SLP to fill in?
Do you have an administration order or anything for the course that we can pass on?
Lucy Woods (cc’d), our Office Manager, will lead on ensuring that LTC Ofir Ben David gets to you in good order.
Thanks
Ronnie

Dear Colonel Ronnie
Further to your query I have received further guidance from Martyn and Colonel Yori Griffiths.
The SLP is traditionally for OF5/6 officers however Martyn, in his previous job, delivered the course from Captain to 3* level. The two UK participants will be OF4 as will the majority of Cypriots we suspect. Cyprus has had to hold many OF4s as part of their professional transformation programme – if this was not the case they would have been promoted before now. Martyn is of the view that OF4 – OF6 would be fine as we do not want to scare away talent and possibly compromise on language ability.
Kindest Regards
Ruth

Thanks Ruth,
There would certainly be interest from the Israelis in attending although we don’t normally fund Israel for this sort of activity – I assume that this would be within scope as of benefit to the other attendees as well as Israel.
Is Lt Col about the right level?
Can I share the 2 attachments that you sent directly with the Israelis?
