Uniform Exchange
If you are returning uniform parts for any reason, please ensure to bring them back washed. Your uniform does not have to be dry-cleaned, just a regular wash in your washing machine will do.
Ensure you are washing your uniform weekly to ensure it stays fresh and clean.
We will be doing a mass kit return and reissue of our blue uniforms and an initial kit issue of FTUs in the month of September.
Once everyone has been issued new uniform parts, we will hold kit exchange monthly on a weekend. Dates are TBD and will be published at a once determined.
