Supply

Supply session is held, when required, for cadets who would like to exchange ill-fitting uniform parts or to return your uniform. If you are exchanging, please bring the item you wish to exchange. Please do not come for badges as they are not the responsibility of Supply. Ranks are to be presented by the CO only. Supply information is available by contacting the Supply Officer at the following e-mail address.

At any time between late August and mid May Cadets may submit their supply requests in an email to the Supply Officer. Address is on this page. Supply pickup location is at the West Middlesex Memorial Centre on Tuesday Training Night, sometimes from the 3 Striker Squadron Supply Trailer. The Supply Trailer was acquired from a donation from 116 Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion and Carstar Strathroy. Thanks to former SSC member Dave Hickey for his hard work putting up shelving and preparing this mobile storage unit for #3 Striker. Also, thanks to former SSC members Al DeJong and John Mather for putting on the decals.

The burden of being a cadet can be a big one compared with school, sports, employment, family and friends but it's not one that should be taken lightly. Upon enrollment at #3 you should have been issued (and still have) the following kit:

Regular Uniform

Wedge and hat insignia
Tunic
Tunic belt
#3 shoulder flashes x 2
Neck tie
Short-sleeve dress shirt
Short-sleeve blue t-shirt
Long-sleeve blue sweater

Trousers
Wool socks
Parade boots
Gloves
Toque
Parka (inner and outer shell)

C5 Uniform (FTU)

Beret
Navy Blue T-Shirt
Coat
Pants
FTU All weather boots

If you're missing any of these items, please see the Supply Officer. Please refer to the Air Cadet Dress Instructions (an Attachment under Cadet Training...Uniforms) on this website for the correct wear of uniform and placement of badges!

DOING YOUR OWN UNIFORM SIZING AT HOME

If you prefer do your own body measurements for your uniform, you will need a measuring tape to carry out your measurements – a cloth measuring tape is best. Please make sure you take accurate measurements to ensure you’re issued a correctly fitting uniform. If you need more information to properly take measurements, you can download the measurement instructions PDF file here. (Note: This link is maintained by 75 Sqn. )

RETURNING YOUR UNIFORM

For cadets who have chosen not to return to cadets in September you must contact the squadron and arrange the return of your uniform at your earliest convenience (any Tuesday night in Sept., Supply is open from 1830hrs). We would like all the uniforms back in September so that we can issue them out again to new cadets. Uniforms must be returned CLEANED - we will not accept dirty uniforms.

For uniform exchanges and for cadets returning uniforms when leaving the squadron, please use the following protocol to ensure uniforms come back to Supply:

Wash all uniforms items first; and
Place all uniform items in a plastic bag to keep them clean – a garbage bag or similar bag will do; and
Affix your name to the bag: (masking tape or a tag); and
Return it to one of the following:
- One of your Level Officers;
- Supply Officer (if s/he is present); or
- Admin Officer.
Supply will then take your uniform off your charge.

If you have any questions or queries, please contact the Supply Officer directly at the email address shown above.
