Iāve got a bowel disease, one of the trigger food stuffs for it is caffeine, so Iām one of those monsters of which you speak. If youāve never had it, you canāt miss itā¦
As to the thread, not an issue. Our NCOs have the choice to make themselves a cup of tea during some parade nights (usually the classroom based nights) and itās never come up as a negative thing for us.
Mountain: molehill.
If that it what is required at squadron level, then start with removing all tea, coffee, soft drinks, sweets, etc; not just for the cadets, but also the staff.
If there is an issue with mental health for cadets, then surely the same issue lies with staff as well.
Letās see how that develops, as this can only be at squadron level. As for raising up CoC, can imagine response!
The number of staff I know who insist they have to have a coffee before they reckon they are able to function properly is truly amazing. It used to be a fag and or coffee.
I wouldnāt get too worked up by the mental health tag, as this seems to be the current catch all, to explain away past, present and current behaviour.
If someone removed all hot drinks from cadet activities I was a part of Iād start removing body parts! Starting with the head and working up in seriousness from there.
