Uniform
All cadets are issued with a uniform similar to that worn by the RAF, with the standard uniform consisting of a dark blue shirt and brassard, grey trousers (male cadets) or skirt/slacks (female cadets), blue-grey jumper (when required) and a dark blue beret. Black shoes are provided by the cadet.
Cadets are also issued with a light blue shirt and tie for formal occasions, and are usually either issued with or privately acquire a DPM (camouflage) uniform. Cadets may wear other specialist uniforms, such as flight suits, when required.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“I’ve always been impressed by the different paths babies take in their physical development on the way to walking. It’s rare to see a behavior that starts out with such wide natural variation, yet becomes so uniform after only a few months.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent—a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion—macho, sotto voce.”
—Phil Patton (b. 1953)
“The maples
Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
