So essentially you want cadets on average parade nights to:
- Be uncomfortable;
- Look utterly ridiculous.
Hypothetical - it’s for the aesthetics.
And well fitted uniform (which, again, in a hypothetical case is possible) shouldn’t be uncomfortable.
Swords for CWOs is… interesting.

Obviously a good bit of sword drill for the CWO’s would be in order…
I thought that Leadership badges were already awarded - they were called rank badges?

Regardless of how well fitted a jumper is it’s going to be somewhat uncomfortable in the summer months…
As you’ve stipulated jumpers are always to be worn I stand by my point.
Why would CWOs routinely carry swords in No1? No precedent there…
The RAF are poor on a level that is difficult to comprehend at supplying the uniform they should.
The RAF don’t supply the uniform, they merely distribute it.
I’d have thought a man of your experience would understand the difference…
Given we have to go and collect it, they don’t distribute it either.
I don’t think that word means what you think it means!

A rank slide on MTP/DPM trousers for those times you need to be wearing a t-shirt only
I did once see a CWO with a rank side attached to the belt loops. He had chopped the back of it and attached Velcro so could wear his rank slide when In a T-shirt.
I don’t need a rank slide for people to know I’m in charge. Anyone who does is doing it wrong.

I have been at a multi Sqn/Wing/Regular event where T-shirts were the order from the Stn Cmdr due to heat… Rank Slides would of been good
I’d just be happy with decent fitting round neck jumpers
