From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ranks of the Australian Air Force Cadets are based on the ranks of the Royal Australian Air Force. As such a system of differentiation was required to distinguish members of the AAFC apart from those of the RAAF. This means that the Cadet ranks wear a rank slide with an embroidered light blue bar, containing the letters AAFC. Adult members of the AAFC wear a rank slide with an embroidered white bar that contains the letters AAFC. Adult ranks are also followed by the letters AAFC when written to distiguish them from actual members of the RAAF. The Cadet Ranks are prefixed with the letter C, (with the exception of Leading Cadet) to identify them as Cadets and not Adult Staff or members of the RAAF.
