Ranks and Uniform
RNZAF rank titles and uniform remain similar to those of the RAF. All personnel wear the nationality mark "NEW ZEALAND" on the Rank Slide which is worn on the shoulder, and until early 2010 on a sewn-on shoulder title on the dress uniform. Since 2010 the shoulder identifier says "ROYAL NEW ZEALAND AIR FORCE", this was to correct a perceived confusion with the uniform of the New Zealand Police, despite many other more obvious differences.

Famous quotes containing the words ranks and/or uniform:
“Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man’s greatest source of joy. And with death as his greatest source of anxiety. Over all history it has oppressed nearly all people in one of two ways: either it has been abundant and very unreliable, or reliable and very scarce.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“The maples
Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
