ATC Badging Policy

Classification      DofE       MV       Shooting      First Aid       Leadership 

Fly/Gliding       Nijmegan       Band

With the introduction of a number of new awards which carried badges, including MV and First Aid, the ATC reviewed the way badges are worn on uniforms.  The complete guide is below.

The Squadron ID badge, ATC badge and Classification badges remain in the same position as shown.  The identification badge (Squadron Number) is to be worn centrally on the brassard, 6 mm below the top edge of the brassard and in this position covers the button hole.

Staff Cadet Lanyard is still worn around the left shoulder with no Classification badge on the brassard.

Marksmanship badges are to be worn on the right hand side of the brassard 6mm from the right edge.  The highest qualification held only is to be worn.

The DofE Badge is worn centrally on the right shoulder patch of the Jersey 1cm above the lower edge.

The MV Badge should be worn on the left hand side of the brassard, 6mm in and up.

The Communicators badge is to be worn directly below the Classification badge.

First Aid Badge is to be worn in the position of either the MV or Marksmanship badge only if one or other of these has not yet been awarded.

The Nijmegan badge is to be located in a central position on the brassard immediately below the Air Cadet Leadership badge or with the base of the badge 7.5 cm above the lower edge of the brassard if the Leadership badge is not worn. If the Corps Marksmanship badge is worn the Nijmegen badge is to be moved to a balancing position on the left side of the brassard, on a line with the crown of the Marksmanship badge, and with the bases of the Nijmegan and Marksmanship crown 7.5 cm above the lower edge of the brassard.

Leadership Badge is to be worn in a central position on the brassard immediately below the classification badge. The Badge is not to be worn if the Junior Leadership Lanyard has been awarded.  JL Lanyard is worn as the Staff cadet lanyard.  If both are held only the JL Lanyard is worn.

Flying / Gliding badges are worn on the Left shoulder patch of the Jersey.  Where one badge is held this should be central and 1 cm above the lower edge of the patch.  Where 2 or more are held only the highest attainment in each of Flying and Gliding is to be worn.  The Flying badge should be 1cm above the Gliding badge which is 1cm above the lower edge of the patch.

The Bandsman's badge is worn on the brassard, in a central position 75 mm above the lower edge. Bandsman's badges are only worn in this space where higher priority badges have not been gained.
