• TRAINING

Wednesday 31 October will be our Halloween Night.

1. Dress of the night is Halloween Costumes. Cadets are not allowed to dress up as "a civilian" or "a werewolf during the day". If cadets are not in a costume, they are to be in C-2 (winter) Dress.
2. Cadets could win a prize for their costume, so make it a good one! The senior cadets have planned some tricks and treats for everyone to enjoy.

• SUPPLY

Any cadets waiting for a uniform please be patient as the parts are on order and should arrive soon!

ALL cadets are reminded that the Grey Wool Socks issued with the uniform are a part of the uniform, and are to be worn with the uniform! Should a cadet find the socks too itchy to wear, they can wear white socks underneath the grey wool socks. If cadets are allergic to the wool socks, they may wear black socks. The only colour sock that should be visible is Grey (issued wool), or Black. Spot checks will be conducted to ensure proper dress policies are being followed.
