The uniforms that are issued to our cadets are the same uniforms that have been issued to active personnel in the Air Force. As such, there is a certain standard that is expected of every cadet when wearing their uniforms. The standard is neatness, cleanliness, safety, uniformity, and military image. Remember, when you wear our uniforms, you are not just representing yourself, but our corps and all those who have served our country, so please be respectful to the uniform! Also, please be mindful that it is a cadet's responsibility to keep the uniform clean, pressed, and in good repair. For questions about uniform standards, please go to the bottom of this page, where you will be redirected to our exact regulations.
The ABUs/OCPs are the usual uniform wear of our cadets. They are meant as a multi-purpose uniform of sorts, fit for almost any activity without being a hindrance. They are the easiest to clean, only needing to be put into the washer. Cadets primarily wear ABUs/OCPs during a regular uniform day, corps event, or at a color guard/saber arch. Below is additional information on ABUs/OCPs.
OCP uniforms are usually issued to 3rd and 4th year cadets in our program. They are darker than the underclassmen ABUs.
ABU uniforms are usually issued to 1st and 2nd years in our program.
The Service Dress is a three-piece suit that is primarily only worn during special JROTC events (military ball, honor guards, and drill tournaments). Since it is only worn during special events, cadets can proudly display the ribbons, medals, badges, and cords they have earned throughout their time in JROTC! Because the uniform is worn on special events, it has the most regulations on appearance. Please remember that your service dress should only be dry cleaned and never washed.
