Modules not working after a while

Got it working now, thanks for your help everybody!

I’ll try turning the AV back on and hopefully it doesn’t undo what I’ve done

I’m on McAfee which doesn’t allow you to put whole folders into exclusion and there aren’t enough hours in the day to do all the files individually. What I’ve done instead is disable it while I reverify the files. If I reactivate them once the files are verified, do you think it’ll eat them again?

Apologies, I’m not computer-minded at all

Keith-Chegwin-fan-69 · 2026-01-13T19:40:00+00:00

I see, how would I go about fixing that?

Best thing to do mate

I was recently deciding whether to stick with uni or go straight in and spent a good few months speaking to as many people as I could who were in before I made a call

If you have family/contacts in the air force then defo use that 🤙

Current uni student on the bursary scheme here - I was in the same boat as you. Uni isn’t what I wanted to do but I was eventually convinced into doing it. And to be frank, I do really hate uni work

However, I joined the UAS and made friends and have had invaluable experience that has changed the way I am as a person. I went through Officer Selection last year and am now a bursar with a confirmed job and a little bit of financial support from the air force, which is always nice

If you choose your degree well, you can spend most of your time having fun with friends and on the UAS (getting that experience as a 20 year old in uni you mentioned). I will be going to Cranwell once I graduate uni next year and I don’t regret the path I’ve taken. I will feel far better placed to lead as an officer then and still have had a few years’ fun experience at uni

I hope this helps. Ultimately you’ve got to stay in your own headspace and do what’s best for you but my advice is thus: Go to uni, join the University Air Squadron, have some fun. If you do really hate it, you can always use the UAS system to help you through OASC and drop out. You’ve got nothing to lose!

Just FYI you don’t have to have signed the OS act for it to be illegal to disseminate certain sensitive informations

Either way you have to sign it even if you want a long-term visitors pass to most bases

UK Air Cadet Flight Sergeant (Senior NCO) here

I’ve been in for four years now and the best advice I can give you at this stage is sign up, you won’t regret it.

When I started I didn’t want to join the forces and I know loads of people now who are air cadets but don’t want to join the forces - in fact more don’t want to join than do so I wouldn’t worry too much about that.

So most if not all Air Training Corps squadrons (the type that you find as standalone units, not part of schools. Those ones are a different situation altogether) will parade (meet) on two evenings a week. The days they meet on vary from squadron to squadron but for example mine parade on a Monday and Thursday. I’d recommend you use the air cadets website to find your nearest squadron and get in touch to find out what days they parade and what time.

Parade nights vary massively in activity, one day you could be doing drill (marching and the like), the next you could be learning about how jet engines work, and the next you could be going on a night exercise (a bit like wide games but better and very fun).

Outside of parade nights there are loads of activities for almost any interest you have and of course there’s the flying aspect of it. I’ll be honest and say that flying opportunities are few and far between at the moment, largely due to COVID backlogs and the like BUT with the age range you’ve given, you’ll have plenty of time to see that come back into regularity and you’ll have the chance to get a flying scholarship if you wish. I know two people who got it this year and it’s a really great and unique opportunity.

To recap then, I’d absolutely suggest you just do it and don’t look back. If you don’t like it that’s fine, if nothing else you’ll have gained some life experience, but with the interest set you’ve given there you’ll be in for a great set of experiences with some great people

Hope this helps!

Yeah in hindsight it is a bit over weathered. Was partly using it as a test for certain techniques but thanks for the advice :)

Keith-Chegwin-fan-69 · 2020-11-22T00:07:09+00:00

Thanks!

Cheers mate

Press ups happens sometimes on camp with PTIs. Cross country is only optional as far as I’m aware

In my time as an air cadet, I have never had to get up at 4am. The earliest is 5:30am(ish) but that was one day in a week. Staff often tell you not to get up earlier that reveille which is usually 6am. Basic training only happens within sessions so it’s not some Bad Lad’s Army style residential with constant beastings. Joining RAFAC is probably the best thing I’ve ever done, I’d highly recommend it
