Returning Uniform & Equipment

For those who have left cadets already or intend on leaving cadets, you are required to return all items issued to you (uniform & equipment) during the course of your involvement with the Unit.

Please note that the inappropriate use of Defence issued equipment especially the ID card may constitute a criminal offence.

It is imperative that these items are returned and removed from your permanent record.
