All cadets and uniformed staff members of the Air Training Corps (ATC) wear a uniform based on the one worn by regular members of the Royal Air Force. Cadets are subject to ATC dress regulations which must be adhered to. As with the RAF, there are several uniform modes available to all personnel, depending on the circumstances under which it is worn.
Pride in personal presentation and turnout is essential to being successful as a cadet. Personal discipline is required to take the time to get a haircut, iron your uniform and polish your shoes. You have to make a conscious decision to do it. After a while your pride in your appearance will make the routine of preparation natural.
It's your decision; do it or do not do it. But do not make excuses...
 This is our formal uniform, also called "light blues" or "wedgwoods" after the light blue colour of the shirt.
It's worn for more official occasions such as parade, visits by VIPs and for OC's inspections where awards and promotions are made.
On the training programme it will be referred to as:
-
No2 (with jersey)
-
No 2A (without jersey)

 Properly called Combat Soldier 95 (CS95) or otherwise "DPM's" or "Greens". It's operational clothing that we wear for shooting, fieldcraft and other activities that might require us to get grubby or work in the cold and the wet.
On the Training Programme it will be detailed as CS95.

 This is the uniform we wear most of the time, also called "dark blues" or "working blue" as the shirt is a dark blue and is labelled as a "shirt, working".
Most parade nights are spent in this uniform. A set of coveralls (overalls by another name) are issued to protect the uniform during mucky activities and also when gliding.
On the training programme it will be referred to as No2C.
