More Uniform Information:
Shirts & tunics should be clean and wrinkle-free.
Trousers should have sharp creases front and back.
Boots should be polished to a shine—no scuff marks.
Badges, name tags, and other insignia should be correctly placed and maintained.
Hair, grooming, and etiquette should reflect pride in uniform (neat, clean, proper appearance).
Uniforms are issued (loaned) to cadets; the Department of National Defence owns them.
As a cadet, you are responsible for keeping the uniform in good condition, not losing pieces, returning all items when required.
Contact the Supply Officer for your squadron.
List what piece you need, whether it needs to be larger or smaller.
For new cadets, take measurements (height, waist, etc.) so uniform parts fit properly.
