Caring for your Uniform

Always, always, always press your uniform!
Your uniform should be neat and clean at all times.
To prevent your uniform from going shiny, do not use too much heat and consider using a pressing cloth when ironing
Always press both collars (tunic and gun shirt)
Sew your badges on straight and to standard (see below)
Remove loose threads
De-lint and properly form your beret
Press a sharp crease in your pants
Males, make sure you have a clean hair cut
Females, make sure your hair is tied back in a bun and there are no hair wisp
Shine your boots

Always put your combats in the dryer before cadets, this will eliminate wrinkles; if the dryer doesn't work, don't be afraid to iron your combats, just don't show up with wrinkles!
Remove threads
De-lint and properly form your beret, tuck in the tags on the back of your beret
Twist up the string on the bottom of your combat tunic, then attach the loop to the bottom button; this prevents the strings from showing on parade
The string in the middle of your combat tunic can be fed through the button holes, hide it as well
