New Smoking and Drinking Policy

[Turbo]

@Mr_OZ

I have always insisted that staff do not drink in front of cadets.

And how did your staff feel about you treating them like kids?

Don’t treat them like kits. the corps does that already.
I don’t stop staff drinking. Staff socialising should be away from cadets socialising.

@themajor

IACE has been dry for a number of years!

So this, and the new policy, means that escorting staff can’t have a glass of wine with their meal on the outbound flight this year?

[themajor]

Let’s not forget the O18 cadets here either.

But yes.

I spy with my little eye something beginning with……….

So who’s seen CAC latest Twitter post regarding the IACE Dining Event at RAC Cranwell.

Looks like one empty wine glass and a half empty white wine glass on the table, but could be wrong

Saw a post & did zoom in - looked like water in the wine glass….

Elderflower wine.

Easily turned into wine if you have a God complex

Here’s hoping the staff AND cadets of 134 (Bedford) Sqn enjoy their champagne and canapes reception, followed by a curry and beer dinner at next week’s special event.

You might want to brief the RAF photographer before he starts snapping away!!!

… jeez you’re not bitter at all.

[SecretSquirrel]

Bit strong mate - especially if the event hasn’t happened yet and you seem to be putting the boots in before they’ve broken any rules?

I get it, the policy seems a bit strong (especially as I’m not in the Corps anymore) but I would think that if you’re unhappy with how another squadron conducts themselves in regards to a policy, bring it up with the staff or CoC rather than open forum?

I’m definitely out the loop. What’s the special event?

[theAdj]

Our CWC are having conversations on this very topic with the powers that be…will be interesting to hear the result…

@Turbo

Good luck to all the International Air Cadet Exchange escorting staff, (mainly HQAC staff, because the likes of you and me would never get in on a free holiday like this), who, for the next 2 weeks will have to stand up to their foreign hosts and distinguished guests, and enforce the ‘no alcohol with cadets present’ policy at all the meet & greets / receptions / cookouts / banquets / dinner nights / farewell drinks parties laid on for them.

Next they will be stopping the RAFAC taking part in activates and events where alcohol is sold and consumed in the sight of cadets,

Had to post this from the USA

Ill text you my shopping list

Daft Q.

Can the loyal toast still be carried out, with port for adults and a vimto-style substitute for the cadets? Keeping tradition, etc, but keeping the remainder of the event Alcohol-free.

Or is everything, verboten.

Actually… can alcohol-free lager, etc be drunk, as it still “looks” like they are drinking in front if cadets?
