I just noticed that the British ranks are very similar to the Canadian Ranks...How did I not notice?? I'm a Warrant Officer, Master Cadet in the Canadian Cadets.
In my county you only have to be a 4* to get the highest ranks and we also have sergeant major before CSM. You also forgot to mention music ranks- bugle major (not all counties), drum major and senior bugle and drum majors.
With the MTP rank slides they only say cadet in red at the top and not ACF on the bottom to my knowledge but adult instructor ranks say ACF at the bottom
Just a suggestion, maybe you ought to script your videos and run through it once or twice to limit your nervous mannerisms, or record a voice clip at a time for each segment instead of a continuous flow. also another point some battalions or counties do have a 4* WO1 or U/O as Master cadet is optional and most times not achievable by most as they do not enroll at a young age.
Thanks for the feedback Kye, The voice clips were actually recorded for each rank first and when I added the images of the rank,I would adjust it to the time of the voice, I thought it would be kinda obvious that it was segmented but apparently not. I have tried scripted videos, unfortunately I have a tendency to go off it anyway, as being a Mild Dyslexic reading out loud is not particularly good. I will take your feedback into consideration, thanks again mate. (:
Ghost Gaming well it depends, you have to be at least 14, respect all NCOs and all COs go on all camps and help other recruits also participate in other things I.E. Activities
I`m a Corporal, Master Cadet training simply because of the structure of my detachment. Promotion through the ranks come depending on different counties, companies, volunteer adult instructors, years of service, star level and skills. Also you missed Sergeant Major as Company Sergeant Major and Regimental Sergeant Major are both appointments rather than ranks. Also I appreciate you trying to do this; but make sure you know all the facts first before posting especially as you can edit and double check the video before posting it. Also if your doing a British Army Cadets Rank Structure, then use the cadet names only, Warrant Officers are for the Regular Army and Reserves, and there`s no `stripes` its chevrons, pips and crowns. Finally not all cadet ranks have ACF at the bottom of the rank slide. Most counties have the adults with ACF at the bottom and a blank rank slide with cadet at the top for cadets. At least you`ve said about respect and Colour Sergeants for Infantry affiliated regiments so well done there.
Hi Alex, I just seen your comment after recovering my account. Yes, I have realise that now as I've been out for some time and I will be revamping and reworking a lot of my videos as things have changed. No, you're correct there is no "Stripes" but that was commonly known nicknames for Chevrons. ACF used to be common thing at the bottom of said epaulette, I realised that since this video that many things have changed since I was also a cadet, hence the inaccuracies as well. I appreciate your feedback!
CadetsHowToUK well done in receiving this persons critique. Many would’ve simply ignored it. Not knowing much about the ACF myself I simply would’ve watched and understood most. I’m interested in Cadet programs because I’m what you call an adult volunteer with the US Air Force Auxiliary (Called the Civil Air Patrol, or CAP). I was a Cadet for 5 years and raised to Cadet 1st Lieutenant before enlisting in the US Army for 10 years before ending my service to go to college and earning my Bachelors Degrees in Criminal Justice and Business Administration. I rejoined CAP as an adult Officer instructor and have held positions as Flight Commander, Deputy and Squadron Commander, Group Commander, Wing Director of Emergency Services and Communications Officer, as well as Cadet Program Officer. I’m both Ground and Air Search and Rescue qualified, which is one of CAP’s three main missions, the other two are Aerospace Education and Cadet Programs. I’ve been active as a Senior Member (Adult Volunteer Officer, currently Major) since 1991. You should check out the Civil Air Patrol ranks, they are similar to the US Air Force’s, as we are its Auxiliary and part of its Total Force Concept. CAP Cadets participate in the International Air Cadet Exchange (IACE). As you guys say, Cheers!
My uncle was a Grenadier Guard, served in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan twice, he was a lance sergeant (corporal in most regiments) like above all foot guard regiments differ slightly
Sergeant Major, RSM and CSM are all Appointments, not ranks. The ranks like I said are "Warrant Officer 2" for the Large crown and "Warrant Officer 1" for the Queen's Crest. but Company Sergeant Major, Regimental Sergeant Major obviously hold more seniority than just the Sergeant Major.
I do plan to redo almost all of my videos because these videos are out of date, but not only that, the quality is low and i rambled a lot in my videos, so I plan to redo them, but because I no longer have any uniform as I am no longer part of any Cadet Organisation, means it's going to be expensive for me to buy uniform and teach people simple stuff like how to iron uniform and Badge placement.
