Once you get there and belong to CFSATE or where ever you hard airforce type train in Borden, they will have you put on the blue beret with the cloth airforce badge. You won't wait for your course on PRETC you will wait belonging to your school thats taking you, and they have all their student and future students put on the cloth badge. Why that is I don't know. Maybe for easy recognition, maybe its a FOD thing, doesn't really matter.
take care!
