Laptops for detachments
Written by Capt G. Rae Thursday, 29 April 2010 08:15
As part of an exciting development in 2nd Battalion The Highlanders ACF, all detachments are to be issued with a laptop, printer and USB "dongle" internet connection. It is hoped that this will ease the flow of information across the battalion and allow detachments to access useful resources, such as this website, Westminster and the National Army Cadet Force Website.
If there are any issues with these laptops, help can found in the first instance by emailing This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , or by calling either Capt Rae or AUO Murphy.
Want to post news?
Written by Capt G. Rae Wednesday, 28 April 2010 08:59
If you are a serving CFAV with 2nd Battalion the Highlanders ACF, you can submit news and files by following the links at the right hand side of this page.
I have also added the feature that all CFAV can now post news to the Main battalion website, so if you have information that you want to share with cadets, you can do so. Just let me know so I can send you your password for the main site.
Please be aware that all news and files are moderated, so will not appear immediately. An email is sent to me, so I should be able to approve news quite quickly.
Please contact me with any questions, or if you want training in this.

A new feature has been added to the Battalion AI website. This feature, called Live Help, enables users to either enter an on-line chat with a website manager, or if no managers are online, to send a message.
It is hoped that this feature will improve communications and allow CFAV to contact someone for assistance during parade nights.
To access the Live Help feature, look for one of these images:
 | If you see this image, no website managers are currently online, but you can leave a message. |
