Although uniforms are issued free of charge, cadets are responsible for using any necessary items for uniform care/maintenance according to the CJCR Dress Regulations. Questions should be directed to the cadets Chain of Command.
Cadets should have:
Boot polishing kit (recommended brands: Kiwi or Moneysworth & Best):
Black shoe polish
Polishing cloth
Shoe brush
Toothbrush (for blackening welts of boots)
Iron, ironing board, and cloth (to avoid burning uniform fabric, e.g. an old pillowcase)
Sewing kit:
Needles
Safety pins, to hold badges in place while sewing
Black OR dark green thread for tunic badges
As a cadet, it is your responsibility to sew on your badges, not your parents. You are a cadet, not mom, dad, or your family
Much like everything else in the Cadet Program, we strive for uniformity and precision. Below are diagrams to help you with the positioning, placement, and measurements for your badges.
