*NEW* Cadet Dress Instructions
The newly published national cadet dress instructions have been posted on this website. Check out the updates under "Training and Orders."
A uniform is an outward symbol of commitment, identity and ethos. Coupled with overall appearance, the uniform is the most powerful visual expression of pride by the individual and is the primary means by which the public image of the Cadet Program is fashioned. Uniforms identify all Cadets as members of a cohesive and national youth organization.
The Commanding Officer expects all cadets to adhere to the dress policy. The OPI for implementing this policy is the Standards Officer, Capt. Mackenzie and all questions should be directed through the chain of command to him.
