Transfering from CCF to ATC
Basically, I've come to the point in my CCF squadron where I feel I'm not getting as much as I can out of the Air Cadets as a whole. This is a lot down to my OC being unorganised and nothing ever getting done, or if it does its around 1-2 months late. This has really come after I have been trying to get away on more camps and courses. My OC controls all of this because I, nor any other CFAV in the unit has access to BADER Camp Portal, so all the bidding has to go through the OC via email, and so the available courses or camps are rare to get an oppotunity to bid onto, also my OC rarely reads his emails, so there is no way if I wanted to bid onto them to do so. Although I havn't had the issue of being completly underqualified as I have achieved things such as: Master Cadet, Bronze Leadership, Silver DofE, Instructor Cadet (MOI, JCIC), Bronze VGS Wings (I know not really a qualification that one), as well because I'm from a CCF I also have done quite a bit of the ACF sylabus.
This has led me to thinking it might be for the best if I transfer to an ATC unit instead.
The only slight issues in the way are; that I'm a Sgt in my Unit, (which I know I might lose if I transfer, but I'm fine with that). And that I'm currently the only SNCO in the unit, so I think if I leave the whole unit will go to pot even more, as I do most of the admin side of stuff such as making and organising lessons, disicpline, uniform etc.
Then there is also the issue that I age out in around a years time.
So basically my question is:
- Is it possible to transfer from CCF to ATC at this point in time
- How would it work if I could transfer? I've known people to transfer the other way from ATC to CCF and they kept both (but I assume this is not standard practice)
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
