Where to Obtain Uniform Items

Purpose: This is to inform the parents in regards to certain uniform items as well order/buy replacement items for their cadet in the event that you lose them after the drill weekend. Below are a few ways to get something replaced if your cadet loses it.

1. Uniform Items

- In the event that you lose a uniform item, the cadet must speak with the supply officer in order to receive a replacement item that must be returned at the end of each drill day (if issued at 0800, the item must be returned at 1600.)
- In the event that the supply officer does not have the uniform item you are looking for, you may go to the uniform store that is located in the hospital in order to purchase a missing item. Any item that is replaced by supply will be deducted from the original $200 deposit!

2. Ranks/Insignias

- Charette Battalion provides Insignia/Rank for those at E-2 to E-7, which includes the ones needed for the NWU collars, as well as the one for the Dress Blue Sleeves.
- If your cadet needs more insignias (for training related purposes), they could either talk to the supply officer or order them from Vanguard (https://www.vanguardmil.com/pages/sea-cadets-collection).

3. ID's

- If you cadet loses their ID, they must pay for a new one. The price for a new ID is $10. 

4. Nametapes
- There are two name tapes that a cadet must get once they have received NWU's. The silver USNSCC tape will be provided and will be placed accordingly (look at image below). The flashes will also be provided as well.

For the cadets last name, go to http://www.1800nametape.com/usnscc.htm#NWU and the type in the cadets last name in ALL CAPS. Once that is completed, select "Silver Thread" and then add to cart. If anymore are needed later on, they can be ordered on this website. Plus it is a cheaper to buy them here than at the uniform store. An example of how you should order them is down in the image below. 

Note: Do not order the name tapes with Velcro. Order Name tapes that are sew on!
