Cadet Uniform Terms and Conditions

2. Cadet: Denotes a young person who is a member of the squadron.
3. Cadet Subscriptions: Also referred to as “Subscriptions,” “Fees,” or “Subs.” This term signifies the amount of money paid to the squadron.

1. The Cadet is responsible for maintaining their uniform, including ironing, sewing on badges, etc.
2. Compliance with uniform dress regulations (AP1358C, available on Cadet Portal) is mandatory.
