Cadet Uniform Program

The Cadet Uniform Program provides new cadets with the main ingredients of an Air Force style blues uniform at no cost to the cadet (while federal funds remain available).

Follow these steps to request a uniform:

Cadet joins CAP and obtains a 6-digit CAPID number.
Cadet visits E-Services at www.capnhq.gov. (First time users will need to register.)
Cadet clicks “Cadet Uniform” in the left-hand menu at E-Services.
Cadet verifies name, address, etc., and enters uniform sizes.
Squadron Commander approves request via the “Commander’s Corner” in E-Services.
Lackland AFB ships the uniform to the cadet. Expect it to arrive 2-3 weeks after NHQ sends the approval to Lackland (the status of the request will appear as “sent” on the commander’s report).

ELIGIBILITY. This program is open to all cadets, but each cadet is eligible to receive only 1 uniform.

INSIGNIA & ACCOUTERMENTS. Through this program, cadets receive a flight cap, shirt or blouse, trousers or skirt, and a belt. To complete the uniform, cadets will need to obtain shoes, black socks or hose, and insignia (metal CAP cutouts, blue 3-line nametag, and enlisted cadet flight cap device) on their own. Check with your squadron for help obtaining these items, or contact CAP’s vendor, Vanguard, at www.civilairpatrolstore.com, telephone 1-800-221-1264.

PAPER VOUCHERS. Please note that the “old” paper uniform voucher is obsolete. The only way to request a uniform through the Cadet Uniform Program is via eServices.

HELP WITH DATA ENTRY. Commanders and deputies may input uniform requests on behalf of their cadets who lack internet access.

EXCHANGES. Contact Lackland MCSS 210-674-0190.

RECYCLING UNIFORMS. When a cadet outgrows a uniform, or if he or she leaves CAP, local leaders will request that the cadet return the uniform so it can be issued to another cadet.
