There’s always bigger fish to fry, but if that is the attitude we should take, why bother being the RAFAC?
Let’s just put our uniform in the bin, go down to my uncle’s shed and play pool!

But she’s the ambassador, if she’s wearing the wrong kit, it’s for the organisation to provide her the right kit. Not for us to moan at her for wearing what she was given.

Anywho, is the correct rank slide for Group Captain RAFAC even defined? Is she the only one? I thought the others were RAFR?
If she’s the only one in existence, I bet they never bothered to get new ones made. It would be a waste of money.

Dress regs say embroidered slides only
Ok…I’m not saying it’s necessarily her fault…but someone’s given those to her
Maybe you should email her and the commandant and tell her rather than whinging anonymously on here?

Or buy her a set from Cadet Direct and post them to her?
You would hope there was an educational piece before inheriting a blue suit but I strongly think you are right…given to wear so wears it.
People seem to forget she is the only Gp Cpt that wears RAFAC Rankslides so they are not avaliable on civvy street and the RAF/RAFAC have to provide them. She has probably been given the pins as a substitute to having to source a bespoke rank slide for one individual. Which in my eyes is a reasonable adjustment from the dress regs

They are in cadet direct. But she probably has more interesting ways to spend her Saturdays

This was asked by CACWO some time ago after the first post showing her with RAFAC pins - I believe that the Gp Capt RAFAC embroidered ones don’t actually fit on her epaulettes, but I could be wrong.
Either way - it is really great to see the honorary Gp Capt engaging with a Virtual Parade Night - what a boost that must have been for the Sqn!
