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...
