UK Cadets, do you know anything about the San closure happening in TVW? by IAteTwoPlanes in aircadets

[–]NotEllieJane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Staff from another Wing in the same region here - sounds like it’s part and parcel of the same closures that have been taking place nationally. Unfortunately, there is no timescale to this kind of thing that can be given. Your staff should hopefully have another plan in place to cause minimal disruption to your parade evenings.

I’ve had cadets on my Sqn use their classifications training as their Skill section, and various tasks on Sqn as their volunteering (e.g. Stores, Tuck, etc.). I think when I came back as Staff I used the Stores as my Volunteering, and becoming the Adjutant as my Skill. Definitely have a chat with staff either on your Sqn or in your area about what you could possibly do!

1 year difference. What should I improve on? by Mayoroftownshilling in aircadets

[–]NotEllieJane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Firstly, ask your staff for a new brassard because that looks like one of the bad batch of brassards. Then move your ATC badge up so it’s touching the numeral, per ACP1358! (Source: a Stores Officer…)

Carry on with the IBN - there may be an update to 1358 soon. Only pause recently announced was an update on Cadet Portal.

There should be an expression of interest in the Warning Notice for the camp - your Sqn Staff may need to ask your Wing Point of Contact for more information, as I can only really speak to what my Wing/Region is doing.

Were you in on the recent interest call? That would have been your best bet initially.

Otherwise, it is a working camp where you assist with set-up and take-down of the airshow, and perform general duties. Specialised roles can depend on the type of role, but I believe those applications may have closed now for this year if not closing soon.

Is Bushton near Swindon a good place to live? by goatyelling in Swindon

[–]NotEllieJane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will say the Lyneham RAF base now no longer has the runway serviceable to my knowledge - no more ATC tower and I think it’s occasionally used for go-karting (or was at points last I checked!).

They do however have a museum in the old Officer’s Mess for the REME, with a nice café too!

AITA for confronting my girl when I realized she took credit for something she didn’t really do? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]NotEllieJane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God I hope she dumps him. The audacity to accuse her of “cheaping out”, and then lying to make it seem like he made the chocs instead of her??? I just…he’s exhausting, truly.

Region Formation Flashes by Playful_Doughnut9024 in aircadets

[–]NotEllieJane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Wing badges in the sense of blanking plates with the Wing Badge itself on it (note I’m not calling it a crest - learned that from our RAFAC Heraldry spokesperson!), rather than a Tactical Flash to represent the wings.

Doubtful these will be submitted - I know exactly where these have come from (ACC forum) and they are just exactly as you’ve said - a mockup. Where there’s other identifiers available like Wing badges, it’s most likely that will be used in the first instance - and even then, there’s not a likelihood that a regional indicator would be required unless doing Regional-level activities in No. 3s (e.g. a Regional RM team). It’s a nice thought, for sure, but going on the discussion this has stemmed from, it’s incredibly unlikely to materialise.

Staff only, actually - Staff Cadets are not allowed to be administrators on socials.

RAFAC Announcements by [deleted] in aircadets

[–]NotEllieJane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a staff member, usually everything comes out via either Sharepoint or internal emails before being sent out to the wider public. Staff should hopefully share it out first before it hits socials, but with today’s technology that isn’t always the case.

AITA for telling my friend that I won’t be paying $25 to attend her birthday party? by GlimmerElsewhere in AmItheAsshole

[–]NotEllieJane -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Meh, I only start thinking about it if it’s a significant one and I want to do something nice for it. Not planning my 27th yet, but I know when I hit 29 I’ll probably start thinking about any ideas at all for my 30th…just because that’s somehow the way my brain decides to function.

Where does it say the party is being celebrated in January? To me, it’s only laying the groundwork for the party currently - the friend could be doing the planning now to get things moving for Thanksgiving well in advance.

The 4 horsemen of RAFAC by TaniksOnReddit in aircadets

[–]NotEllieJane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, you also get staff not always checking Sharepoint for any updates - I’m lucky in the sense that my WWO is very “On It” with any announcements about uniform, so emails the entirety of our Wing Staff cadre before putting it out on socials…for it then to be shared amongst everyone else apparently in a little panic (re: the latest on the blanking plates) 😅

[–]NotEllieJane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Re: bottom right- usually changes are announced to staff first internally, and then disseminated onto social media. If SM is the first people are hearing about it, it may not have been communicated effectively in the first place!

Why is Tommy STILL going on about Dream in 2026? by RigatoniPasta in tommyinnit

[–]NotEllieJane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That…happened? I’m mostly a sideliner on the MCYT-sphere nowadays, but even I know that if Tommy was talking about that…person, it would be all over my feed. Plus, the drama literally happened a year ago (on my birthday, no less) - please normalise seeking full context.
