The ACF had 4 stolen before we even got our initial issue.

Only for section 1, not for prohibited weapons -
Firearms Acts 1968 sec 54 para 5 b ii
Section 54 (5) of the firearms act is what grants permission for cadet forces to use firearms & prohibited weapons without a certificate.
So next time youāre on D&C camp just ask for confirmation that what you are doing is legal first.
For the record I do get a perverse geek out joy from firearms legislation

Were they the new ones?
We ordered some just before Christmas, the old ones turned up. We ordered more a couple of weeks after the syllabus was releasedā¦ the old ones turned up.
We didnāt bother again.
Always a attach a copy of what you want.
Weāve had Air Power & Leading Notebooks too
We got leading as well.
HOWEVER, itās not that much for someone to go āby the way, weād like you to provide these to anybody asking for xyz, because weāve made some changesā. In fact, Iād say itās a pretty basic consideration to ensure your printing ācontractorā has the latest release.
And arenāt we discouraged from using attachments? 
The new TVs we have had installed by RFCA in place of projectors and screens, which were not supplied with any connecting cables, do, to my surprise, work over wi-fi casting to my laptop!

My TEST Sgt being a star.
Wow.
Howād you manage to get them to buy that lot?
Dunno. The whole refurb has been a mess really. But it seems one of the reasons for good stuff like TVs is RFCAs secret plan to hire the place out as a conference facility.

Ah, things starting to make sense now 
Heard about the push for big screen TVs being installed at various locations. A good RFCA selling point, for them anyway

Yep. The other side of that coin is that the rooms are plain white, we canāt put anything on the walls outside the dedicated pin boards, and there is a considerable dearth of storage space.
We were better off before the refurb.

I donāt know if this is useful in not, but we had the same issue a number of years ago. The WExO pushed for a 20ft ISO container, which we duly had placed next to the sqn building. It has lights, power sockets, and heaters to keep our kit dry. Could you ask for something similar?
We could askā¦
Put some solar lights out the front of the house and they look really nice
