Free Cadet Uniform

[addo1]

   I was wondering how long it usually takes to recieve your free cadet uniform when you apply for it on e-services??  Thanks.

Usually about two weeks or less. It all depends on what the AF has in stock at the time of application.

Sometimes it can take much longer.

Well, I just recieved a e-mail from them saying it might take 12-15 weeks.

It is free...

[MIKE]

It is free...

Well, not really.

Again, it all depends on what the AF has in stock. It's unfortunate that it will take that long, and I hope that your commander will either give you something to use until you get it, or understand that you have a valid reason for not being in uniform. Reason with him/her. Just be patient. You never know when you'll get a package from the AF.

We're also at the end of the fiscal year and there may be no funds left.

Regardless, 12-15 weeks seems a little long.

  Thanks!! I will take your advice.      ...well, you never know when it might come.

WIWAC my free cadet uniform was a used uniform that was issued to me from squadron supply... even got a service coat.

Captain, you've shown quite a bit of us up. I was never offered a service coat, and was told that I had to purchase one of my own. Even though there were more than enough to service the group.

   Which uniform is it?  The Navy Blues?

"Air Force" blues ("service uniform")...but no shoes.

[addo1]

  Yeah, I figured that out.  Also, nameplate, belt, etc, etc, etc.
Where is a good place to get "high gloss" (that is what it said to get  )shoes?

Nameplate, belt, and other CAP-specific insignia: Vanguard or The Hock Shop.

Shoes: I strongly recommend regular shine 'em up low quarters - one's gotta learn to shine shoes and boots! An army-navy store is an OK place to find them but you're taking a gamble with the quality; some used (and even new) shoes and boots may be cheap but eventually they'll fall apart. High-gloss poromeric ('corfams') and patent leather scratch easy and are a pain to maintain.

  I recieved my uniform today.  One problem though- the pants and shirt were totally the wrong size.     Can you send the uniform back for a replacement??
Thanks!

That's typical. I think you can send it to someone and exchange it. Does your squadron have your size? You can try to trade them.

 Thanks!  I will talk to my squadron commander.
