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.
