Cadet Ranks
Every cadet will work his/her way through the various stages of classification training and, hopefully, all cadets will eventually reach the level of Master Air Cadet. It is not the same, however, with the Cadet rank structure. Promotion to a Cadet Non Commissioned Officer (Cdt NCO) role is only awarded as a result of selection by the Squadron Commander, and the number of cadets that can be promoted is limited. For example a typical Squadron of 30-40 Cadets has established posts for just 10 NCOs. It is therefore considered a great honour to be selected for promotion, and competition can be intense.
In general every Cadet Warrant Officer (CWO) and Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) in the Corps is expected to:
a. Bear an appropriate share of responsibility for the morale, discipline and control of all cadets junior to him and her.
b. Show pride in the Corps and take an active interest in its good name and efficiency.
c. Be smart in appearance and set a high standard of personal behaviour.
