REGULAR AIR CORPS CADET CLASS
The Air Corps Regular Cadet Class is made up of students who have spent seven months in the Military
College as part of a Cadet Class and then progress to flying training. It is
only on successful completion of their flying that they receive their wings and
are commissioned.
In
general the badge would be worn immediately after the wings ceremony but in
some cases it could be months later. Approval was given in 2007 allowing the
class to wear the badge during the cadet training period. The first class
to do so was the 26th and the badge was worn from July 2007.

YOUNG OFFICERS COURSE
As the name implies students on this course were 2nd Lieutenant's. They chose a flying career but completed the full cadet portion of their training in the military college and were commissioned as Air Corps officers. Why change the type of course for 2nd Lieutenants the easy answer would be that it is "due to the exigencies of the service".
