I believe the discussion of embroidered cadet stripes is they are embroidered on a fabric square with a velcro backing to put on the OCP tab for grade insignia, like the military does, not sew-on the sleeves.Quote from: Shuman 14 on March 22, 2024, 07:40:47 PMQuoteembroidered cadet enlisted insignia
They might be cheaper in the long run and less likely to get damaged on a field uniform.
Possibly cheaper, but a WHOLE lot less convenient. We had sew-on rank WIWAC, and it was a real pain, even considering the less frequent promotion intervals. The sewing jobs were inconsistent, and positioning was hit and miss.
On top of that, the sew-on stripes weren't as reusable as the pin-on rank. Once sewn on, washed a few times, and given an ironed-in crease, they weren't easily removed and reused on another cadet's uniform.
Belated follow up but I just found these, USAF JROTC Rank on OCP.
Not the same as CAP Cadet Rank, but showing it can be easily done, once we move OCPs.
Full color on OCP patch or Blue patch, either will look fine and in pairs, one for the OCP top and one an outer coat.
