UNIFORM AND INSIGNIA ISSUE PROCESS

Now that we have most people outfitted with uniforms, we can start getting ready for our annual inspection. 

When you need a uniform item, fill out a form available from the rack in the back  of the classroom.  There is a form for insignia and ribbons, a form for uniform items such as shoes, covers, and shirts, and a separate form to report the loss of an item.  Uniform items, including ribbons, will no longer be issued on a "walk-in anytime" basis.  We will issue items during office hours on Tuesdays from 2:30 until 3:15 PM.  During this time, you may present a form and get "while-u-wait" service.  At any other time, simply properly fill out the form and your request will be processed with 24 to 48 hours unless tailoring is required.  If tailoring is required you obviously must be present for a fitting.  This process will minimize confusion, so think ahead and be a part of the solution.  If you need something for Thursday's weekly uniform inspection, you need to be thinking about it the week before, or Tuesday the week of at the latest.

A big word of caution:  You are responsible for the uniform items we issued to you.  While we will replace lost, stolen, or damaged items, you will pay the posted replacement cost, as some cadets already know.  We will, of course, replace items that you have outgrown or which have become unserviceable through normal wear and tear at no cost to you.  The bottom line:  BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR UNIFORM.
