Officer cadet is a rank used by the branches of the British Armed Forces, with slight differences between the branches. It is used by personnel who are undergoing officer training, prior to them commissioning as Officers. The rank has no command authority and is not saluted or addressed as Sir or Ma'am.
The rank does not have a NATO code, but codes such as OF-0 and OF-D have been used informally to categorise the rank.
