well yeah . . . RC(N) just shugged when being chased further.
The problem we have is that STEM is a buzz phrase across education and industry and the ATC being the ATC jumped on the bandwagon, to make it look like they were in the mix.
If this had been around 30-40 years ago when we had a decent RAF then I think it would have worked, but then in those days, kids were taught how to do things, so it wasnât needed.
Please ignore the troll.

Sorry but it is a buzz phrase that gets thrown around and HQAC isnât funding it and leaving it up to squadrons to make it up. This space award big noises with Tim Peak and then nothing tangible. HQAC need to get their ducks in a row and then launch something, not say something and then do nothing or say itâs over to squadrons.

Who needs a syllabus that all 40,000 or so cadets can access when you can just send four cadets off to space camp!

Mhmmm and yet again, no internal announcement to a) prepare MCOâs for the announcement so everyone can share it or b) so Squadron staff actually know about it and can answer questions and find the forms.
This is something that RC(N) acknowledged back in July/October that the media announcement had not been handled correctly, and weâve just done it again.

Bearing in mind RC(N) said he was going to be bringing up the announcement procedure as part of the original complaints on Valuing our Volunteers.
No chance!

Incredible. Crass stupidity. How on earth (no pun intended) can the award be launched with such soshial meeja fanfares, then implode???
EDIT - as per soshial meeja build-up, a RIAT âplaces have been nominatedâ announcement was on one of the RAFAC (Region??) Fb pages (canât find it at the moâ) - how about the formal comms route first???
