Overview


Creating an Account

  1. To create an account with www.rafcom.co.uk follow these simple instructions:
    1. Click on Sign In / Register on the left and then click on Register.
    2. Complete the registration form, selecting a username for yourself and a password. Remember your username should be recognisable to your family (not obscene!) and your password should be memorable (although the webmaster can help in this regard if you forget it).
    3. The system was set up before JPA so individuals with the new JPA Service Numbers should contact the Webmaster (webmaster@rafcom.co.uk) and he will give you the correct check digit.
    4. Registration is instantaneous! You will receive an email confirming your username and password straight away and you are then registered.


  2. Forums
    To go on to your Sqn or Unit Forum, go to the homepage, www.rafcom.co.uk and click on Unit Information Exchange at the bottom of the list on the left hand side of the page. Click on Select a Unit, select your unit and hit ‘Go’. You now have access to the forum and the Chat Room.


  3. Chat Rooms
    You will see that once in the Chat Room, you can see who else is in at that time to chat to. You can decide to chat with 'All' or just an individual. Again, this is almost instantaneous. Chat Rooms have been restricted to RAF, Ex-RAF and their families to chat and post questions.

    • WARNING - Parents and young adults view the information on Internet Safety on the Internet.

    • NOTE: You should note that you can have 2 MORE accounts using your Service number, so partner and parents/children can have a log in to contact you through chat or utilise the forum. Note that you are responsible for their behaviour!
