Members of the RAFVR(T) have no call-up liability and is now significantly smaller due to the introduction of the Cadet Forces Commission (see below).
Unlike the formal process for regular service, selection is based upon relevant experience and the arm in which the candidate initially wants to serve.
Others present at the filter interview may include the Wing Executive Officer who is nowadays a civil servant that may also hold the rank of Squadron Leader RAFAC, and one or more Wing Staff Officers in the rank of Squadron Leader/Flight Lieutenant RAFAC.
However, the OASC conducted by RAFVR(T) and RAFAC applicants is shorter, focusing on elements of the Air Cadet Organisation.
As an Officer Cadet VR(T), they wore a completely white rank slide with gilt VRT insignia in the centre.
Following completion of their OIC, a newly appointed Pilot Officer Air Cadets would then receive their rank slide.
Since Air Cadets officers would generally be responsible for running either a CCF(RAF) section or an Air Training Corps squadron/detached flight, successful applicants were required to demonstrate qualities of commitment, motivation, and some knowledge of the RAF and military/civil aviation, all underpinned by a willingness and aptitude to work with young people in an instructional environment.
