Each Cadet will be issued two uniforms (unless you are first year - then you only get the one FTU unless accelerated to Level 3 - then you get both). The Field Training Uniform (FTU) is to be worn most parade nights and for field exercises. The Dress Uniform (DEU) will be worn for special occasions such as CO Parade's, Remembrance ceremonies and our Annual Ceremonial Review. The uniform to be worn will be specified in the Weekly Routine Orders. Uniforms are on loan to you for use during your time as a Cadet. They must be returned promptly to when you leave the program.
