Uniform StandardWearing & Forming Your Beret
WET BERETSoak your beret in warm water. Using hot water on the black rim will shrink the beret. If your beret is slightly too large, using hot water is a good idea. If your beret already fits your head snugly, be sure to avoid hot water.
WRING OUT THE EXCESS WATERGet rid of all the extra water you can by gently wringing out the beret. It will still be damp, but make sure there is no more dripping water.
18 19
SHAPE THE BERETPlace the damp beret on your head. Hold the cap badge with your left hand and pull the excess material with your right hand so that it’s smooth (do not pull too hard as you rip the material). The material should not go past the mid point of your right ear.
ALLOW THE BERET TO DRY ON YOUR HEADDoing this will keep the beret from shrinking too much and will form the beret more closely to the exact shape of your head. If necessary, you may need to hold the fold down with one hand until it becomes secure. You may take the beret off if it’s still slightly damp after a few hours.

PERSONAL APPEARANCEGeneralThe standard of personal dress, appearance, and grooming shall reflect credit on the individual and on the RCAC. The regulations are not intended to be overly restrictive, but rather to ensure a high standard of grooming consistent with that expected of cadets while also recognizing the standards of Canadian society. The regulations set out in the following paragraphs are reasonable to ensure a favourable cadet image and yet allow some individuality.
Cadets in uniform shall be well groomed with footwear cleaned and shone. The uniform shall be clean and properly pressed at all times. In particular, buttons, fasteners and zippers shall be kept closed. Pockets shall not be bulged; items such as glasses, sun-glasses, glasses cases, pens, pencils, key-rings or paper shall not be visibly extended nor protrude from pockets or be suspended from waist belts or pockets. Headsets from personal electronic devices (including hands free devices), shall not be worn during training.
CIVILIAN CLOTHINGCivilian clothes. May be worn by cadets as prescribed by Corps COs. Cadets wearing civilian clothes during cadet activities or in public shall present a neat, clean and well groomed appearance. Regulations on personal

appearance will apply to cadets wearing civilian clothes in regards to deportment, hair, jewellery, tattoos and piercing. It is recommended that the Corps COs emphasise the importance for cadets to dress in a manner that brings credit / upholds reputation of the cadet corps and the RCAC.
DEPORTMENTChewing gum, slouching, sauntering, placing hands in pockets, smoking or eating on the street, walking hand in hand, and similar deportment which detracts from a proud and orderly appearance in the eyes of the public is unacceptable for cadets in uniform. The object of this guideline is to project an image of a disciplined and self-controlled group while, at the same time, allow cadets to express their feelings in a positive manner as it would be expected of teenagers.
MAKE-UPFemale cadets are authorized to wear a minimal amount of make-up. When wearing uniform, make-up shall be applied conservatively. This precludes the use of false eyelashes, heavy eyeliner, brightly coloured eye shadow or lipstick, coloured nail polish, and excessive facial make-up.
Jewellery. The only jewellery that may be worn in uniform shall be a wristwatch, a Medical Alert bracelet and a maximum of two rings (one on each hand). In addition,
female cadets in uniform may wear a single pair of plain gold, silver stud, diamonds or white pearl earrings in pierced ears. The single stud earring, worn in the centre of each earlobe, shall be spherical in shape and not exceed 0.6 cm in diameter. No other type of earring shall be worn except for a gold or silver-healing device of similar shape and size, which may be worn while ears are healing after piercing. Only a single earring or healing device, worn in the centre of each ear lobe, may be worn at a time. Male cadets are not authorized to wear an earring or earrings.
BODY PIERCINGCadets in uniform shall not wear visible body piercing adornments (tongue included), with the exception of female cadet’s earrings. Jewelery used for piercings of the eyebrows, the nose, the lips, etc, must be removed when in uniform.
TATTOOSCadets shall not display tattoos that are deemed to be offensive (e.g. pornographic, blasphemous, racist, etc.) or otherwise reflect discredit on the CCO. If a cadet is found to have such a tattoo, he must cover the tattoo at all times during cadet training, whether in uniform or in civilian clothing.
24 25
UNDERGARMENTSUndergarments including brassiere for female cadets, should be worn under all numbered orders of dress and shall be of an appropriate colour so as not to be visible through uniform items of clothing.
EYEGLASSES/SUNGLASSESSunglasses shall be conservative in design and colour. Sunglasses with photo chromic or mirrored lenses are not authorized for wear. Cadets, who normally wear eyeglasses, may wear either conventionally framed prescription sunglasses or conservatively styled clip-on sunglasses when conditions and circumstances dictate. Other cadets may wear conservatively styled sunglasses, which do not detract from the overall appearance of the uniform when conditions and circumstances dictate. Sunglasses shall not be worn on parade unless authorized by the CO in special circumstances.
WEARING OF HEADDRESS (BERET / TOQUE TIL-LEY HAT)The wear of headdress on different occasions reflects a combination of the cultural etiquette of Canadian society, military custom and religious practices. As a guideline, the norms of formal etiquette should be followed:
a. consecrated buildings. All cadets shall observe the custom of the religious denomination concerned, in regard to the wearing of headdress in a consecrated
building, except that headdress shall be worn when on duty as a member of the vigil during the lying in state of a deceased dignitary or when depositing or receiving Colours. The advice of the officiating clergy will be sought and followed in each case;
b. messes and canteens. Cadets shall remove headdress upon entering messes and canteens. The same custom shall be applied upon entering public restaurants; and
c. public buildings. Headdress shall not normally be removed in any public place, including elevators. However, cadets may observe the custom practised by civilians in regard to the wearing of headdress in public buildings such as theatres and civil courts.
MILITARY AND PRIVATELY OWNED VEHICLESCadets travelling in uniform shall wear headdress while travelling as a passenger in a military vehicle or travelling or operating a privately owned vehicle except: on extended trips; or by order of the senior officer present.
When headdress has been removed in accordance with the instructions above, it shall be replaced when either approaching and leaving a military establishment (including the Armoury); and before exiting the vehicle.
26 27
PARADESAll cadets on parade shall remove their headdress, when so ordered, except for musicians, colour/flag bearers and their escorts and also those who are adherents of the Sikh religion.
HAIRHair shall be neatly groomed and conservatively styled. The length, bulk and style of hair shall not preclude the proper wear of the beret (bulk is the distance that the mass of hair extends from the skin, when groomed, as opposed to the length of hair). In particular, style and colour shall not be bizarre, bleached, exaggerated or unusual in appearance. Unusual colours such as green, bright red, orange, purple, etc are not permitted. Hair must be secured or styled back to reveal the face and any accessories used to secure or control hairstyles shall be as unobtrusive as possible. Hair ornaments shall not be worn, except for conservative barrettes, which blend with the hair colour. Female cadets may use hair-gel as a personal choice, but must not be mandated to do so by their Cadet corps.
Hair - Male Hair shall be neatly groomed and conservatively styled. The length, bulk and style:a. taper trimmed at the back, sides, and above the ears to blend with the hairstyle;
b. be no more than 15 cm in length and sufficiently short that, when the hair is groomed and beret is removed, no hair shall touch the ears or fall below the top of the eyebrows;
c. be no more than 4 cm in bulk at the top of the head, gradually decreasing to blend with the taper trimmed sides and back;
d. and be kept free from the neck to a distance of 2.5 cm above the shirt collar. Taper trimmed square back styles and shaving of all the hair on the head are permitted.
SIDEBURNSSideburns shall not extend below a line horizontally bisecting the ear, and shall be squared off horizontally at the bottom edge and taper trimmed to conform to the overall hairstyle.
MOUSTACHES/BEARDSWhen moustaches are worn alone, the unshaven portion of the face shall not extend outwards beyond the corners of the mouth. Moustaches shall be kept neatly trimmed; not be greater than 2 cm (3/4 in.) in bulk; not extend below the corners of the mouth and not protrude beyond the width of the mouth. Note that beards are not authorized.
28 29
Hair - Female The following additional details apply to female cadets. Generally, hair for females shall be placed neatly in a bun. Hair shall not extend below the lower edge of the shirt collar (see exception below). Exaggerated styles, includ-ing those with excessive fullness or extreme height, are not authorized. Braids, if worn with FTU or PT, shall be styled conservatively and tied tightly, secured at the end by a knot or a small-unadorned fastener. A single braid (FTU/PT) shall be worn in the centre of the back. Double braids (FTU/PT) shall be worn behind the shoulders. Hair shall be a maximum length when gathered behind the head and braided which does not extend below the top of the armpit. Multiple braids and/or cornrows shall be directed toward the back of the head, pulled tight to the head and secured at the end by a knot or a small-un-adorned fastener. Multiple braids extending below the lower edge of the collar are to be gathered in a bun. Hairpieces and extensions are not permitted.
EXCEPTIONWith the PRIOR WRITTEN PERMISSION of the corps CO, a 60-day transition period may be granted a cadet to grow her hair longer for re-styling, during which time hair may extend below the lower edge of the shirt collar.
