There is actually one at RIAT usually manned by an Army reserve field hospital.

Haven’t read the climatic injuries dicuments.
Nah, they read it all. Just decided to ignore it for their event because they thought it didn’t effect them

I know RCN reads these forums.
I really hope he reads the most recent threads and doesn’t dismiss all that’s been said as the by-product of whining.
And if you are reading… It’s very simple; prove us wrong.
If you can; great. We’ll all be able to relax.
If you can’t… Whole other ball game.

RC(N) is not a medical professional and most importantly not beholden to a regulatory body outside the RAF/RAFAC. Even RAF medical service have to abide by the strictures imposed on medical professionals by the regulatory bodies.
He can scream and shout about ‘whining’ it won’t do him any good as it will fall on any sensible medical professionals ears as irrelevant.
i don’t think someone needs to be a medical professional to understand:
- A report says “the use of a WBGT is not suitable risk measure for Cadet activities”
- HQAC have 9 months later issued an IBN/policy which indicates we should be adopting the WBGT data for Cadet activities.
this is not a medical professional problem.
this isn’t even a metrological professional problem
this is a professional problem - HQAC are not being professional about their decisions, they appear to not even be competent given they are not only not listening, but going against their own advice.
I suspect GM_F is asking RC(N) to indicate there is no contradiction (“prove us wrong”) not what the opinion of a medical professional would do

I’ve got to say, if something happens because of reliance on WBGT and people ended up in front of me with this factual matrix
they would have a hard time convincing me they had acted reasonably. Admittedly my sitting experience has not been in the coroner’s court, but I have appeared in them.
Although anything involving cadets I’d recuse myself anyway.
Comandant has proven he is a fool.
He has surrounded himself with fools and has allientated all those he should rely on for sound advise.
He MUST go.
Has AOC 22 Gp seen the FoI? The position of CRAFAC must be tendered out immediately and not to some other moronic staffer with no experience.
AOC 22 Gp.
Fire him
Or risk losing the whole of RAFAC.
Also…
Really weird that the foi specifically lists possible cfav day jobs as…
‘Fuel bowser driver’
‘Food tester’
Pretty specific…
The fools need to go first as otherwise the new person will listen to the “expert” advise & make no difference.

I think that they were in HQAC before he was appointed.

And being FTRS/CS employee’s difficult or impossible to remove.
My old manager found it easy to sack CS in my team. You just need to make sure you do it by the book and document it all. Then the unions can’t do much
Have a meeting, set out the performance problems, set out tangible SMART targets to improve and a timeframe for doing so, offer appropriate support for retraining where necessary. At the end of the time frame assess progress and decide on keep, sack, or adjust targets and reassess at a later date.
Only cowardly managers take the view that you can’t get rid of civil servants.

No, the selection weekend was removed a few years ago. Now selection is based on application, OC recommendation and interviews.
Cadets physical capabilities are monitored across each weekend but not assessed as part of a selection event.

Even if there is one its use is irrelevant as the charts don’t account to cadets being ‘children’ as per the DASB documents.

Given the value of them, I’m amazed they seem to just get left lying around unattended.
(Admittedly in front of the police in that example, but still)
