I know someone who used his RAF service to gain him entitlement for the diamond jubilee despite having only a couple of years as a uniformed CfAV.
He didn’t get his medal in the initial run but was able to put a claim in via the WExO after the everyone else.
So if you don’t immediately get the medal in RAFAC uniform service alone you may still be able to claim but only after the initial allocation (& on providing the required evidence & documentation).
It’s probably because it’s a simple bulk report - excelll filter for all uniform staff who are still active & joined on or before 5 Feb 2017. quick email to WExOs to confirm & then processed & ordered from royal mint from there. 3 month turn around to get the medals engraved & dispatched.
CFM is more individualistic and there are probably production runs quarterly or six monthly for those eligible hence why some people get it quick & others wait ages.
I didn’t think Jubilee medals are engraved?
They aren’t personalised, but they are made by engraving which I think is what @Chief_Tech means when they say engraved. (Hence why they differentiate between them and the CFM.
My understanding is each WHQ basically indents for X number of medals based initially solely on SMS data.
After that individual cases can be taken up.
But theres no Official basis for that.
Sort of a make your case to the governor type thing.
this doesn’t apply to me, i am just curious:
given the PJM will be awarded to “serving members of the armed forces and the Frontline emergency services and prison service officers” for those CFAVs who “double hat” as one of the latter (I know of members of the police , fire and ambulance services, and have known a CFAV prison officer) are they issued two via their respective CoC in their two roles?
I can’t imagine WEXOs are that up to speed on everyone’s day job to know who in the Wing will get a PJM through their employment to not count them on the Wing’s request.
Can anyone who perhaps double hats indicate what happened?
With the diamond jubilee I knew a fair few who were cfavs & police officers who got two medals. Doesn’t count as a bar though 
I think when the DJM came out you were supposed to tell the organisation that you didn’t want one as you already had one.
I won’t be doing that as I keep all my medals in their original boxes and have replicas mounted, so having 2 would be handy, one to wear and one go keep.
Putting my production engineering hat back on for a moment, I would be incredibly surprised if they were engraved.
That’s an expensive way to manufacture a series of several thousand identical medals. I’d be almost certain that they’d be struck with dies in the same way that coins are…
Any form of subtractive manufacturing is slow and expensive by comparison.
Medals are pressed and CFMs have your name and service number engraved on the band. Jubilee medals however, are not individual hence why they are just sent out without application from the individual.
Totally agree, the previous 2 were not engraved
this was my thought when I read it…but didn’t want to be that guy
I am that guy 
I was a serving police officer and CFAV and received a medal from each organisation on the previous two occasions. I was never asked by either org. if I would receive one from the other….
I know one police officer/ATC WO who wears two Golden and two Diamond medals. His reasoning is he was awarded two by HM so it would be rude of him not to wear both. He just looks like a tit to be honest.
Understatement
Was trying to not get banned
Does volunteer time not count until someone’s in uniform? It’s still giving up time to the same cause….and we’re all serving HM, irrespective of our type of uniform.
In these circumstances no it doesn’t, in the same way that non-uniformed emergency services staff don’t get the medal either.
