Part of the initial membership fees cadets pay are used by CAP to provide
them with the basics of their two uniforms: the Air Force Style Class 'A'
(blues) uniform, and the woodland cammo Battle Dress Uniform (BDU).
Some uniform items are provided by CAP National Headquarters, some are
provided by the squadron, and the remainder must be provided by the cadet.
Information about obtaining the items for the two types of uniforms is given
below. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask the Cadet
Programs Officer.
Air Force Style Class 'A' (Blues) Uniform
The Cadet Uniform Program from CAP national
headquarters provides new cadets
with the main ingredients of an Air Force style blues uniform at no cost to the
cadet (while federal funds remain available).
Click here for the latest complete information on how to
order your cadet's free blues uniform: the Cadet
Uniform Information page of the Civil Air Patrol national website.
These will help:
PLEASE NOTE: It is the
responsibility of the cadet and his/her parents/guardians to acquire these free
Blues uniforms through national headquarters using e-Services! Please
follow the directions given on the national headquarters Cadet Uniform
Information page linked above. If you feel that it is taking too long for
your cadet to receive his/her uniform, CALL THE NUMBER on the Cadet Uniform
Information page linked above and ask about the status. Call them as often
as you need to in order to get results.
