Now, there is as much, if not more emphasis on "Citizenship" as there is on drill, theory of flight, and the other "air force" subjects.
Not in CCF, there isn't. We do citizenship anyway, in school; we don't need to waste parade time on it.

RayDarr - you are massively missing the point about a VR(T) having the authority and responsibility to protect cadets. First, we are told in no uncertain terms during IOT, and regularly reminded, that this is the case, and that no matter how senior the regular RAF person who is putting cadets at risk, we must intervene - and have the authority to do so. And secondly, it's not mostly about health & safety, it's about child protection, about which 99.9% of the RAF know absolutely b@gger all, and on which we (particularly CCF, where we are almost all professional teachers) are experts.

And CCF wear the regular RAF cap badge because we've been around longer :-P
