Does fairly well at treating staff like garbage.
My CFM only took 12 months so that’s better than 2 years.

I notice the latest RAF uniform IBN suggests that all RAFAC CFAV are eligible to be issued 3x MTP barrack shirts with accompanying MACA ‘corporate’ RAF formation flashes
Not a bad option in my opinion

Good at making the reduction from 10 to 9 VGS seem like an increase

The draft HQ announcement with redactions was previously posted in another thread. I think that made the decision making process crystal clear!

CFAV locally do an amazing job retaning the cadets they have in one of the most challenging times for the organisation.
That is one good thing this organisation does well and it has absolutely nothing to do with HQAC!

The E1 & E2 at Wing.
Great for direct support, good local interaction & pragmatic in helping getting things through the RAF admin.
Probably the key gateway in linking Sqn life to the wider RAFs bureaucracy world. They know their area & they know their volunteers.
How to tap into that? Give them a bit more support perhaps a little more authority so they have the opportunity to get out & about in their area and properly empower them as volunteer coordinators.

I assume this for commisioned officers and SNCO and not civilian instructors
The IBN doesn’t state commissioned only but I’ fairly sure there’s an update in the weekly brief the I would paraphrase as “don’t hold your breathe” for the lot of us.

Remember, though there will be an RAFAC specific IBN around this. It would not surprise me if that was diluted to SATT primary posts only. I do, however, hope I am wrong.

Theres guidance coming out in Oct.
So to summarise answers to the actual question; what is the RAFAC doing well?

Yeah, this thread is a bit of a mess. Which I guess works with ‘What is the RAFAC doing well?’: Making messes.

I’m almost certain that was written by someone trying to be ‘whole force inclusive’ whilst not realising uniformed CFAVs aren’t currently scaled for PCS and have their own formation flash.

Done well
Camps in particularly the corps ones left
RIAT - As a cadet offering a great camp
National Air & Space Camp
DofE and AT has continued well and is well recognised
Air Cadet Pilot Scheme although only 4 cadets in a tutor that is a fantastic achievement for solo flights.
When I take a step back and think why do I keep going week on week, month on month, year after year. Yes there are some negatives but the main positives are the people not just CFAV but seeing Cadets mature and develop skill sets and a sense of pride in themselves and their community they represent. Without the organisation they could be sat with their mates in the car park at the local supermarket after school “thinking they’re cool” throwing stones against a wall (actually seen that happen). We need to get our identity back and I personally am looking forward to the new commandant’s vision.

I think the general concensus is “I’m not too sure”…

CFAVs still managing to deliver lots of meaningful experiences for cadets, even in challenging times.
