Email Signatures

Almost every OC is a Heartstart instructor, and so why (s)he thinks being a Heartstart Instructor needs to be in the signature block:

Iā€™m not a HS instructorā€¦ but I am an OC.

Cadet Forces Skill At Arms Instructor | RAFAC Bronze Cyber Instructor | RAFAC Bronze Radio Instructor | DofE Expedition Assessor | RAFAC Blue & Bronze Radio Assessor | RAFAC Risk Assessor | Cadet Forces Range Conducting Officer (LR)

DofE Leader too? LLA? BELA?

If youā€™re going to do it at least commit :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Donā€™t you need to have AFA to be an RCO?

Leader yes, but no AT quals.

Nope, you need a designated First Aider but this canā€™t be the RCO. on a side note I do have FAAW but wasnā€™t an instructional Q so i didnā€™t list it :wink:

Would I list both DI courses or just the Arms Drillā€¦cause thatā€™s pretty much the only thing Iā€™d have to put on :joy:

Not going to though

Is that to keep the Sqn WO from the throat of the young upstart Sgt :roll_eyes:

Shows how little I know about shooting! I havenā€™t fired a weapon since I was a cdt

Didnā€™t I warn about exactly this happening?

HISTORY IS REPEATING ITSELF!

Iā€™d be replying with a personalised signature that puts theirs to shame, including some irrelevant post nominals for extra giggles.

I mean, ā€œBHF Heartstart Instructorā€ - at least put something to be proud of on there and not something thatā€™s almost as common as a clean DBS.

Clearly I am one of those people you despise because I do put postnominals in my email signature. In my defence, as I work in education, people do expect to see them. (Though the teacher equivalent I guess is listing PGCE as well - I mean, yes, I do have one, butā€¦)

Thatā€™s the oneā€¦ Iā€™m putting ā€œClean DBSā€ alongside my ā€œCadet H&S ELA Mentorā€, and ā€œYear 2 ā€˜Dolphin Awardā€™ swimming certificateā€ā€¦

CFM? ā€¦

Not basic enough. You need to put up with the nonsense so long that it becomes an achievement.

To clarify, I did say irrelevant! More like someone putting something like Flt Lt Sparky SMEG for supreme member of the electriciansā€™ guild or whatever.

My own industry specific qualification or memberships apply too and I would challenge them if I saw someone using them.

Problem is I use one generic email signature at work for both educational and cadet-related stuff. Which means it contains everything.

My personal favourite are the people whose Twitter name is ā€˜Col Bob Stevens MBEā€™ or whatever. Nice that you got the MBE, but it isnā€™t part of your name.

Maybe if I got one Iā€™d do the same.

I was going to ask why you use the same account for bothā€¦ but presumably CCF?

You can set up different signatures in Outlook. Even just for work, I have several

Yes, correct - and CCF is work, really. (I also have a staff officer position for which I do indeed use only my BADER account.)

What would really help would be if Outlook 365 allowed multiple accounts; itā€™s a bit galling that my iPad can do it but my PC canā€™t. Then I could just use the BADER accounts for CCF.
