Senior Non-Commissioned Officers (SNCOs)
SNCOs are the 'boots on the ground' of our Organisation. All SNCOs wear the same uniform as their RAF counterparts. They are Cadet Forces Adult Volunteers whose primary responsibility is the standard of Drill, Dress & Discipline within the Royal Air Force Air Cadets (RAFAC). Further to their primary duties SNCOs tend to find their own 'niche' specialism be it in Shooting, Adventure Training, Sports, First Aid etc.
