Under OfficerUnder Officer is a rank held by Officer Cadets at the British military academies, in the Officers Training Corps and sometimes in the Combined Cadet Force. There are actually two separate ranks: Junior Under Officer (JUO) and Senior Under Officer (SUO). They are usually addressed as JUO or SUO as appropriate. At the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and in the OTC, JUOs wear an Austrian Knot above a single bar on the shoulder and SUOs wear an Austrian Knot above two bars. CCF JUOs (there are no SUOs) wear a white, green or blue flash on their shoulder straps. In the Air Training Corps(NZ), Under Officer is a rank. It ranks between Cadet Warrant Officer and Pilot Officer, thus making it the highest rank a cadet can reach (Under Officers are treated as trainee officers who cannot be commissioned until they reach the age of 21). Cadets below this rank treat Under Officers as officers, except that they do not salute. Under Officers wear an insignia similar to that worn by Officer Cadets, except that the thin blue braid is replaced by a piece of NCO chevron cloth. This emphasises their official status as cadets rather than adult leaders.
