Ok I suggested it in another thread and with deep heart I open again the can of worms...... with a hope we can have a adult discussion on this

My view is keep regular/TA cap badge for the following reasons

Shows/Demonstrates respect and support for said affiliated organisation
Provides link to community for Reg /TA orgs
Allows Cadet detachments foot in the door to obtain support from said org
Gives Cadet detachment unit pride amongst other detachments in county/sector
Possibly a recruiting tool, but not sure how valuable this is these days, more so for TA
Could allow disbanded/ merged Regts to "live on" and support/focus for veterans/ links across generation ect.

Only good argument I've ever heard about a ACF cap badge is the uniform nature of large parades where all appear the same.

Let battle commence ...... what do others think?

I think that everybody else will think the exact same thing they thought the last time this exact thread came up. I beleive the name hasnt even changed!!!

Never mind..........MOD feel free to delete

I thought the army cadets already have a cap badge? I joined them about a month ago... isn't it that star shaped emblem on the beret?

Waaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!

Quick answer

NO IT Shouldn't

It would then become the ATC where staff wear RAF capbadges ,cadets wear other things and the regimental system pride in detachments would disappear.

More of a triangular shaped shiny thing really

Who cares, more to the point - how about the female cadets wear school uniform?

Agree entirely, badged Royal Regiment of Scotland and our cadets, and CFAVs (proudly) continue to wear the red hackle
