I did wear a 42 brigade flash, this was part of our uniform in my county, late ron , instructions was dished out that they are to be taken off.
no biggie, no most of us waer the union flag on our uniform, fine, no biggie ,, I just crack on as normal, being an instructor.

I have noticed some counties have their own ACF flash, probably not a bad idea as it can give you some pride and identity with your county along with it being "your own flash"
my county did issue a county flash to Senior cadets for passing SCIC courses, it actually looks quite smart, I suppose we could use that as our county flash, after all AIs have passed an equivilent SCIC courses (AIC/ITC) as part of their training.

Don't the ACF have their own red shoulder tabs any way? The idea of an ACF/CCF TRF sounds ok though.

yes for use of Cadets to distinguish them from serving soldiers, some oF the Cadets do look old enough !

You're telling me! I'm always being asked if I'm a cadet! I need a flash that says STAB on it! haha

If cadets wear a County badge on their brassards, then why shouldn't adults wear the same on their uniform? As I wrote above, it means we can all identify one another.

However, in my County no cadet or adult is permitted to wear a stable belt, so what are people's views on stable belts, or am I getting off-topic? Does anyone here own or wear the ACF stable belt?

I assure you Pitster everyone owns them and are waiting for the green light!
Maybe later in the year!

Troop!

When did that happen? or have you moved counties to a different one recently?

Regimental stable belt is allowed in my county, Cadet NCOs only are also allowed to wear them.

Our county allows reg capbadge and stable belt,can't say I have ever seen an acf stable belt ?

was interested in what you said about the RIFLES being keen on their cadets wearing TRFS etc and basically being part of the regimental family ..they obviously have the same view as the PARA REG on these things but I think both units seem to foster that family ethos anyway.

Our sector/county doesn't have a TRF so can't comment.

Look in Cadet direct for the ACF stable belt.

They could have a TRF like that if they want.
