I know right…
…
Means I now have to commute to Sqn via horseback.
Problem is, new regs require evidence per journey that the horse has its latest jabs, medical check (bi monthly), as well as positive dietary statement.
Rumour has it that feed samples will be required in advance send to defra.
Also only bicycle rate for horses payable.
Maybe posting on Air Cadet Central does have an impact after all?
Never!
Dont tell certain perms at HQSW… 
I didn’t say a positive impact. We don’t know, it could be even worse than it was last week yet!
So, for those of that complied and posted the Permt 19 back to HQAC, how might they now go about getting it back? (asking for a ‘friend’)
Apply to the TC
Wait a week and see what the next version says?
What about walking, is there an inspection for shoe soles, RA for crossing roads, need for Hi Vis, protective garments etc?
Comes under road marching. And if some regions had their way you wouldn’t be allowed to do that without being followed by an ambulance.
Fixed that for you.
IBN 45 has be re re re released!
CBA to try and find it on my mobile. Anything exciting?
Someone has used some common sense. If vehicle is less than 12 years old, inspections between 6-13 weeks depending on use.
Over 12 years old - 6 weekly inspections.
Well done HQAC.
That makes more sense and fair play to HQAC for realising the original policy change needed updating
So now a CFAV transports cadets in their car which is on a 59/60 plate or younger as an instance, no checks except a yearly MOT, how do they square this circle on inspections and remember the RAFAC does not own the SOVs either. Does the RAFAC now mandate that CFAVs must abide by the mandate, if so I can see this stopping a lot of external activities.
Also, unless CFAVs who have cars have their car on a three-year rolling replacement, many cannot at the moment afford to replace their vehicles.
This is exactly what the rules were before! As in, in line with UK law.
Classic case of massice over reach then hurried retraction.
At least they have seen their poo stain and now changed their trousers.
It only applies to SOVs.
This of course .akes an asumption that all SOVs are mininuses and not cars and all require permit 19s etc etc.
While true, what’s the difference in terms of safety. By the rules as they stand a Staff cadet/CFAV can take cadets to events in an 02 plate micra that only gets checked once a year. Or if a CFAV were to own their own mini-bus, they could also do the same. But if the CWC owns it, then it needs all this extra work.
So that just makes a mockery of the whole thing. What if an external provider is used and turns up in a coach which is 10 years old, do you reject that?
Do because from the MoD view it’s not their department as long as they arent going to be liable that is the main thing. The onus on this case would the external provider & potentially whoever booked them.
