# Civil Air Patrol Cadet Uniform Program Instructions 

This program provides an opportunity for a new cadet to receive, at no
cost to the cadet, a basic blue Air Force uniform, provided the unit
commander approves the request and funds continue to be available in the
program.

Cadets are responsible for purchasing the CAP accessories (name tag,
ribbons, grade insignia, hat device, etc.) required for proper wear of
the uniform. For CAP accessories, contact Vanguard at 1.800.221.1264.

Free uniform items must be returned (or replaced, if lost or damaged) to
the local CAP unit in the event the cadet withdraws from the cadet
program within the first year of membership. The parent/guardian assumes
the responsibility on behalf of the minor child. The unit commander will
make every reasonable effort to retrieve these uniform items. Uniforms
received under this program will not be sold, rented or given to anyone
other than CAP cadets.

# Ordering Instructions

You must use e-Services ([www.capnhq.gov]{.underline}) to order your
uniform under this Cadet Uniform Program. Once your membership
application is processed, you will receive a membership card with your
CAPID number. You should use the CAPID to log into e-Services, or you
may use your Social Security Number.

go into e-Services and follow the "Cadet Uniform\>\>Reports" link in
your restricted applications (look at the right side of your screen), to
run a Cadet Uniform Program report at least quarterly. This report shows
all cadets who should have received a uniform within a year from the
date that the report was run. This report can help you as you verify
that the cadets received their uniforms or alert you to those who have
not. Also, use this report to account for the uniforms as required (see
CAPR 67-1 for details). File these reports in the "Pt II" of the
Property File.
