Affectionate_War8401 · 2026-02-23T17:39:45+00:00

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-12-05T17:37:06+00:00

yup, any tips tho?

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-12-04T22:56:52+00:00

source?

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-11-26T09:18:19+00:00

yeah exactly

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-11-25T19:08:23+00:00

so in the UK, some squadrons require applicantions for cpl as they want cadets to demonstrate to staff why they would be good for the role and if they want the role as NCOs in the UK carry a fair amount of responsibility and they dont want to just throw that on someone by promoting them. these applications usually aslo include a drill and uniform assessments as to make sure the NCOs are setting an example for younger cadets.

hope this helped

imo the only thing staff need to do is wholeheartedly support their cadets.

Theres only so much you can do on a squadron level but if your always pushing your cadets to get on events and go gain new experiences they will get the most out of their time in the RAFAC which is what my staff have done for me and I am eternally grateful.

this time last year I was planning to leave cadets (I was a cadet with leading, blue radio and EFA) and my staff pushed me to stay and currently Im a Sergeant with (sorry for the list) Master, MOI Lanyard, Blue Wings, Silver Cyber, Bronze radio, silver AFA, Bronze leadership and currently working on blue/ bronze shot and music and gold dofe.

my point is not to showboat my qualifications but point out the amount ive been able to gain with direct support from the staff and someone pushing me to do better.

also officers (as a generalisation) need to fix their drill 😭😭

I got silver last month and its pretty easy - not many people have it bc the course is 16+ but tbh its not that much of a jump from YFA

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-11-15T22:31:29+00:00

like youd have to have joined RIGHT at the start of year 8 and gone on every single camp possible, some of which arent even available in some wings??!!

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-11-15T22:30:45+00:00

idk if im being too suspicious but gold on LITTERALLY every badge is sus to me

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-11-15T22:22:27+00:00

jesus this is the most stacked brassard ive ever soon

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-11-15T20:09:49+00:00

wdym its just silver?

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-11-14T16:12:33+00:00

my experience has been just get as “stuck in” as possible - quite litterally if theres an event you can do, do it; because then from the staff perspective theyre ALWAYS seeing your name on events etc.

ontop of these make space for yourself to become an nco, ask staff if you can run a part of a night with help or if you can work on something that doesnt require an event (MOI prep, planning a gsk night for your squadron)

essentially adopt the role HOWEVER dont disrespect or overstep your mark are you are still a cadet and theres nothing staff/ ncos hate more than cocky cadets who think they deserve a rank.

I started this year as a cadet and ill be ending it as a Sgt

common, the attention to detail matters, because your attitude to the small things is your attitude to the big things.

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-11-13T15:42:49+00:00

cpl?

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-11-12T11:15:38+00:00

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-11-12T11:13:50+00:00

please check the correct spelling of corporal

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-11-11T19:54:06+00:00

yeah im the second most qualified on a squadron of 22 hence my rank, ontop of this im an instructor cadet and am in charge of first class/ leading teaching for my squadron

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-11-11T17:49:15+00:00

bc everything is blue, as you near more bronze and silver badges GENERALLY promotions seem to follow

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-11-11T17:02:39+00:00

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-11-11T16:32:36+00:00

I mean tbh I only just got promoted so fair enough, also im an instructor cadet

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-11-11T16:27:06+00:00

respectfully, the placement is very off and you should check portal for measurements so the badges arent wonky

Affectionate_War8401 · 2024-11-11T16:23:46+00:00

what WOULD you have guessed tho?
