Additionally, here are some useful tips to help you succeed in maintaining a top appearance ...

Recruits

• Until you are issued a uniform you will most often wear "Black & Whites"

  • Black & Whites are black or other dark colour pants (no blue or faded jeans), black or dark shoes or boots (no rubber soles), and a white collared shirt

• The equivalent to the Army Cadet Orders of Dress are:

  • C1 Dress = Black & Whites​

    • your best dark pants & shoes and your best white collared shirt (for special parades), with a coat or jacket appropriate for the weather for outdoor parades​

  • C2 Mess Dress = Black & Whites

    • ​your best dark pants & shoes with a black bow tie on your white long-sleeved collared shirt (with coat or jacket when necessary)​

  • C3 Duty & C3A Short-Order = Black & Whites

    • doesn't have to be your best as you will be training (ie laying on mats, sitting on the floor, etc); bring a coat or jacket for outdoor training​​​

  • C5 Field Training Uniform (FTU) = Adventure Wear

    • something you feel comfortable in while crawling, climbing, hiking, biking or canoeing (no jeans)​

  • C5C Sports Dress = Exercise Clothing

    • running shoes, shorts or athletic pants, t-shirt or sweatshirt (depending on the weather and if indoors or outdoors)​

Dress Uniform

• Always, always, always press your uniform!

• To prevent your uniform from going shiny, do not use too much heat and consider using a pressing cloth when ironing

• Always press both collars (tunic and light green shirt) 

• Sew your badges on straight and to standard (see below) 

• Remove threads

• De-lint your beret

• Press a sharp crease in your pants

• Males, make sure you have a clean hair cut

• Females, make sure your hair is tied back in a bun and there are no hair wisps

• Shine your boots

Field Training Uniform (FTU's)

• Always put your FTU's in the dryer before cadets, this will eliminate wrinkles. Please don't iron your FTU's, 

• Put old iphone cases in the breast pockets to flatten them out- otherwise they fold everywhere

• Remove threads by burning them off carefully using a lighter (do not pull at loose threads) 

• De-lint your beret, tuck in the strings on the back of your beret

• Twist up the string on the bottom of your FTU tunic, then attach the loop to the bottom button; this prevents the strings from showing on parade

• The string in the middle of your FTU tunic can be fed through the button holes, hide it as well

• Buy boot blousers - if you do not know what they are, ask your Sergeant
