Air Cadet ranks

[@adamcowell4349]

It's interesting hearing the differences between the Canadian Air Cadets and the RAFAC. I'm surprised how big the differences actually are. We have far fewer ranks to achieve (just Corporal, Sergeant, Flight Sergeant, and Cadet Warrant Officer) and you're considered a JNCO as a Corporal and a SNCO from Sergeant onwards.

I am glad you found this video informative!

[@noahmoody8899]

this was super helpful! best video on this subject by far!

[@how2cadet500]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rhysdavid9123]

Interesting to see the difference between AAFC and CAFC, we don’t have FLTCPL only CPL and you have to call his/her rank. Also we call Squads Flights

[@rhysdavid9123]

You also have to be recommended by your CO and complete JNCO Course to be qualified to be a Corporal. Your CO can then promote you

[@how2cadet500]

Why?

[@Canadian-Asian-dude]

@@how2cadet500 Just about all commonwealth cadet programs asides from Canadian cadets require qualification and interview in order to be promoted to NCO ranks.

[@elijahgutierrez-3242]

​@@how2cadet500it's to see if the cadets are actually smart enough to be the rank they used to fail and pass you but now it's just feed back

[@philrose7716]

I love all your video Sir. I'm sure you will go far with your career.

[@raymoreton3184]

It’s slightly different from when I was there in the 90s and maybe because I am uk also, it was cpl sgt fs and cwo to make cwo we had to be 18 have a rank of sgt or fs and we were recommended to wing then have an interview with the group captain, I made cwo

[@WyattBiscotti]

I remember a Corporal being a junior nco

[@how2cadet500]

yup but you only call out the rank of Fcpl and above.

[@travelermalori1080]

Hello! I'm a WO at my corps (army) and I was wondering if I could basically remake your video but for my army cadets corps. I think its really well explained and it would help the newers cadets at my corps understand ranks and especially paying compliments to NCOs. If you allow me to recreate your video, I would of course credit you. Thank you in advance!

[@how2cadet500]

Of course., thank you for asking.

[@SpectrabyteRL]

Very interesting, differs a lot from the Civil Air Patrol.

Indeed!

That's a great idea!

Very interesting as in sea cadets from ordinary cadet(OC)- to the rank of master cadet(MC) your called cadet or MC surname. From Petty officer second class(PO2 to petty officer first class(PO1) your addressed as P.O. Or PO1 last name. And for chief petty officer first/second class your called chief or cox’n. Sir/Ma’am is reserved for officers of the Royal Canadian Navy. Interesting that your giving your senior cadets the same respect as RCN officers.🤣🇨🇦

[@astrogamer4219]

Just wanted to point out this is different to the squad I attend

[@how2cadet500]

Oh that's interesting. What do you guys do that's deferent?

Awesome video but could you do a video on the cadet band ranks?

[@how2cadet500]

Possibly!

Isn’t there just a drum major and pipe major that are different from the regular ranks?

i fined the differens in different cadets interesting im a first class sea cadet in britain.

[@Themapleleaforever]

May I ask for a video explaining changing cadet types and their differences, then the same thing in the RCAF

[@how2cadet500]

Do you mean the differences between air, army, and sea cadets?

[@Themapleleaforever]

@@how2cadet500 a bit, like if I was in air cadets and wanted to switch to army or something

[@EmoGermaphobe]

I already know the ranks but I find your video useful (I'm a corporal)

[@EmoGermaphobe]

I didn't know the name of some of them in English though cause we are in Québec :)

[@sophiasophia1020]

I just started air cadets, and I'm clueless about attendance. I know we come from at ease at attention, but then what? Do we say the highest rank? I have to fumble around on training nights, because my last name is first on the list.

[@how2cadet500]

My squadron dose this: Name called> go to attention> call highest rank on the parade>Go back to standing at ease. Make sure you ask your NCO's if you have questions.

[@sophiasophia1020]

@@how2cadet500 thank you! I will be asking next Tuesday.

[@Canadian-Asian-dude]

I’m not sure about your sqdn, but in my sqdn, when your name is called, you come to attention and say the rank of the person who’s calling the attendance. If they’re a FSgt, we come to attention and say “Flight Sergeant”. If they’re a Warrant, we’ll come to attention and say “Sir” or “Ma’am”. But still, as mentioned by “How 2 Cadet”, you should talk to your NCOs and Warrants about how it’s done in your sqdn.
