Perhaps I’m just late to this topic, and everyone else knows what’s already been decided upon (despite inescapably-massive stocks of ‘traditional’ Queen’s Crown CWO Staff Cadet rankslides). We’ve already had unlegended QC CWO slides, “Instructor Cadet” QC CWO as well…this would be a 4th-gen rankslide.
And did somebody at the back say “Flight Sgt”?
EDIT- note the ‘single eyebrow’ AIRCADETS…yes, it does look horrid (appropriately, for a now-fictional rankslide combo)
What in the name of Tax Avoidance is going on here?
Multiple companies that have renamed away from “embroidery” and related, and/have that or related as their SIC, multiple that at some time referenced “cmyk”, multiple accounting businesses…
What utterly low quality designs. I’d be asking to see the credentials of anyone I saw wearing these for suspicion of them not being entitled to do so.
Because Adult WO’s are very protectionist and wouldn’t push for that through the dress standards committee even if they could, many even like to pretend that the correct term of address for a CWO is Cadet Warrant Officer instead of Warrant Officer despite the “Cadet” big being dropped from every other Cadet NCO rank.
It was clearly written in the ACP back in the day.
And the adult warrant officers should remember that, unless they were a retired WO themselves, they were also denied the actual badge of rank until very recently.
Only in the ATC as CCF have had no age restriction on rank.
The rank insignia is real but historic, as it’s still a WO1 insignia. I think from an army point of view, infantry used the crown on its own while corps used the crown with wreaths.
I think the whole “not calling CWOs” as Warrant Officer came about when adult FS & Adult Sgt were introduced & people over thought things again.
