The majority of Field Training Uniform has been issued. For those who do not have this uniform yet, Supply staff will come and get you on a Tuesday night when they are able to issue this uniform.
You will be issued your blue Service Dress uniform in couple of months on a regular Tuesday night during a one-on-one appointment with supply staff. There are over 75 new cadets and the Service Dress uniform takes time to size, so be patient as it will take several months to issue everyone their blue uniform. Supply staff will find you when your turn comes up for kitting.
Within the Air Cadet Program there are 2 uniforms the cadets will receive. How to wear the uniform is just as important as how to take care of it.
There are 2 documents to refer to on how to wear each uniform.
