Flight Officer Insignia

AFJROTC Cadet Colonel



AFJROTC Cadet Captain

I've definately seen AFROTC cadets wearing them on their BDUs.

That's true, they do. I believe they also use the C/2d Lt insigna from AFJROTC in AFROTC for C/4C and the C/1st Lt insignia for C/3C, before they enter into the POC.

Those are AFJROTC rank (but the Senior ROTC has taken two of them for their 4th and 3rd class rank).  I think the square ones that everyone is refering to is the picture I'm attaching...

^ these are for the BDU's right?  As the shoulder sleeve insignia is slightly different.

If you are talking about AFROTC we use the same epulet system as the Navy in regard to grade: 2nd lt = 1 stripe, cadet colonel = 4 stripes.
The epulet itself is jet black and the stripes are white/silver.

The c/4c and c/3c epulets are black and white and consist of stripes running at a 45 degree angle across the epulet. 1 stripe for freshmen and two for sophmores.


AFROTC GMC cadets use blue and silver 'jrotc' insignia on bdus - blue with either a single silver stripe or two silver stripes.

POC cadets use black squares with stripes. (think a hard epulet)

I was set up to be a  cadet second john before the medicaled me. 


As for what Ive seen among FO's, and what Ive done myself on BDUs  is get the POC epulet with either 1 two or three stripes, and put on "CAP" insignia on the opposite lapel.
Flight suits, never dealt with them.

Before I made Lt, I called Vanguard (2006) and inquired as to the availiblity of the hard  FO insignia and was informed. "No idea, a production run has yet to be scheduled."

[SJESOFFICER]

BDU wise Vanguard has cloth grades for FO's. As a prior FO and then TFO I would use these than  the metal ones, I believe are out of reg even if they are nice to wear.   Here is an example of AFROTC METAL GRADE RANKS  the Second, Captain, and Major ranks could work as FO ranks if regs allow...

The navy ROTC uses lines, but they are all single lines not "FAT lines and SKINY lines" like what are used in AFROTC.  So The NROTC lines actually go up to six total lines, while AFROTC only goes up to four.

Correct.  The shoulder sleeves are black/white but still follow the same pattern for the officer insignia.

Might be a touch late, but I have all the Flight Officer insignia - plus a few of the Warrant Officer insignia here...
