RAF Officer Ranks - Air Training Corps and Combined Cadet Force

Air Training Corps and Combined Cadet Force

In the Air Training Corps, the rank system for officers is identical, but the highest rank is wing commander, with higher posts being held by regular RAF officers. Officers in the Air Training Corps are part of the RAFVR(T), and as such wear a small gold badge shaped as the letters VRT, with the T centrally below the VR. The same applies for the RAF section of the CCF.

Famous quotes containing the words air, training, corps, combined and/or force:

    Only the gaunt fierce bird
    Flies, merciless with fear
    Lest air hold him not,
    Beats up the scaffold of space
    Sick of the world’s rot
    God’s hideous face.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    When a man goes through six years’ training to be a doctor he will never be the same. He knows too much.
    Enid Bagnold (1889–1981)

    L’amour pour lui, pour le corps humain, c’est de même un intérêt extrêmement humanitaire et une puissance plus éducative que toute la pédagogie du monde!
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    A taste for drink, combined with gout,
    Had doubled him up forever.
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    ‘Tis happy, therefore, that nature breaks the force of all sceptical arguments in time, and keeps them from having any considerable influence on the understanding. Were we to trust entirely to their self-destruction, that can never take place, ‘till they have first subverted all conviction, and have totally destroy’d human reason.
    David Hume (1711–1776)
