Uniforms

The uniforms your cadets will wear during their Sea Cadet or League Cadet careers are a necessary part of their membership.  The initial uniform charges will be no more than you would spend for Brownie, Girl or Boy Scout, Baseball or other uniforms for participation in other activities.  A full initial compliment of uniforms costs over $500. The good news is that, as your cadet grows, you may not have to purchase the same items again in larger sizes.  If the smaller sized item is returned to the unit in re-usable condition, the larger size of the same item will be provided at no additional cost.

The following Uniforms are the prescribed uniforms for Wolverine Division. Each uniform features a list of items required for each prescribed uniform.
 The lists are separated into groups between Sea Cadets and League Cadets, male and female, and uniform type.

**The uniforms will be issued once enrollment is processed at NHQ. It is the responsibility of each cadet to request from the Supply Officer any items that are missing from their uniforms. However, should there be occasion that a cadet's size or uniform component is not available in Supply, the items will need to be purchased by the cadet's family. See below for suggested local and online uniform resources.


The official manual describing the authorized uniforms and their wear for NSCC/NLCC  Officers, Midshipmen, Instructors and Cadets can be found by logging into your Polaris.  The following information is taken directly from the NSCC Uniform Manual.


 Important Information
Uniform components  of all personnel shall have ownership markings. Markings shall be a stencil  consisting of owner’s surname and last four digits of owner’s social security  number placed  inside the garment, unless directed otherwise. Stencil letters  shall be approximately 3/8 inch high blocked letters. Markings shall be black on  white uniforms, and white (silver sharpie works well too) on blue/black uniforms. 

Footwear:
Boots must have laces, Zipper on the inside is okay.
Shoes must be have laces no seam on the toe, and be polishable.
