Nothings running until tomorrow, bows the best time before accounts start to be generated

Turns out there was a space after my first name so my personal account has been generated as firstname-.surname100@… (note the hyphen!)

My fault… But maybe worth applying a trim function to names, to remove rogue spaces, before generating email addresses!

That’s frustrating as I only did a visual check

Yeah I just checked mine as no email of yet… All good for me!

I’ve not had an email yet but notice on my SMS profile a “personal account” email has been set under my contacts personal info tab.

ooh, me too - and I have the 100 version :tada:

(I’d be surprised if there wasn’t another person with my name in the org - there are 2 of me at work, one in a different department but does vaguely similar stuff and we frequently get mixed up… even my boss managed to email him instead of me recently :roll_eyes:)

Lol…
So that’s important to more people than just me…

Except I was prepared to ask about it before.

I still think it should have been the last 3 of your service number (it was for me when I was in the regs), but heyho, another :100:

I didn’t really consider it a thing that I wanted until you mentioned it before :stuck_out_tongue: Now I’m happy I have it! :100: :100:

Also a 100 for me it seems.

Issue with that being (if I understand service number generation correctly) there is an outside chance (however small) 2 people could have the same name and the same final 3

37

I am the only person in the UK with my name, so was expecting to be :100:

38

My understanding was in fact that is checked during the service number generation so the combination of first name, last name and last 3 digits is always unique.

Yes, there is. But it worked in the regular forces - with far more people having an email address - so I think the odds work out.

Useful to know. Obviously I have no input into that side of things, but having worked on projects outside RAFAC requiring generation of unique IDs my thought process instantly headed towards potential problems
