Instructor Cadet Rank Slides

Everyone Uniform and Drill

Are instructor cadet rank slides still used/worn for instructor cadets ie passed moi course?

No, Instructor Cadet Rank Slides used to be for Cadets who were 18+. Staff Cadet used to be the yellow lanyard classification. A couple years ago they swapped around the names of the two, now Staff Cadet Rank Slides are for 18+ Cadets. I think Instructor Tapes are disused completely now a days. Anyone who wore them should’ve acquired some Staff ones by now…

Hope this helped :slight_smile:

They have turned up again the last few times I have ordered staff cadet rank slides from wing, I think there has been a high level flamingo up with the ordering somewhere!

We’re still using up our supply of Instructor Cadet tapes, as the supply of Staff Cadet tapes has been very slow.

You should all be binning your supply of instructor cadet tapes as they are no longer a valid rank insignia for cadets.

I wouldn’t do that. This is the ACO give it few years and things will change back and they’ll be worth their weight in gold encrusted with diamonds, or at least that’d be cadet rip off’s pricing until HQAC get their finger out and get enough made.

I know a few of us gave their old V neck jumpers a wash when the pattern changed back again. Still keeping the old one for when that’s flavour of the month again.

And risk people getting it all wrong in the interim? No thanks. I’d sooner let HQAC struggle to catch up with another policy they’d introduced before they were ready.

There was an email via the training chain to HQs saying destroy the lot. I’d echo that thought

I binned all of mine, ordered some staff cadet ones and was sent Instructor Cadet ones, queried it and was told that’s all that’s available so use them in the interim.

I suspect it’s an incompetence based issue at Wing/Region
