Once you have been a cadet for a few months you will receive a uniform. But while you wait you are expected to meet the hair standards and wear an outfit we call black and whites.

Your issued uniform comes in many variations of wear. When wearing your uniform you must follow what the rest of the squadron is wearing.

  • White long sleeved dress shirt with collar.

  • This will be tucked in to black dress pants.

  • Black belt.

  • You will need to wear a black tie (Double Windsor Knot). Please see uniform page if you need to know how to tie a tie.

  • Black dress shoes.

  • If you need to wear a jacket, it must be done up at all times.

Once you receive your uniform, make sure to try it on and that it fits proper. You must label all uniform parts with your last name and initial. You will receive:
