Tips and Tricks:

​

When ironing the uniform, use a pressing cloth (old pillow case or sheet) to prevent burning or heat marks. The uniforms tend to get very shiny when heat is applied directly to the fabric.

​

Badges must be sewn on. Please do not iron directly over the badges as they have a glue behind them that ruins the uniforms when activated by heat.

​

When polishing boots, the only products that should be applied are water, Kiwi brand polishing cloth and black Kiwi brand polish. (Can be purchased at Canteen). 

​

Initial name tags are free of charge and will be provided to you by the SSC (during Canteen).

​

For additional information please follow the Cadet Dress Instruction Manual, ask a senior cadet or ask the Supply Officer.
