**Update - 29 Jan 21**
As we get closer to the beginning of February, the Supply section has now re-opened the online ordering process. Restrictions are still in place for the distribution of uniforms, however this will ensure cadets are able to submit requests so that items can be ordered, where required. This webpage has been updated with new measuring guide items as well as a new "order form" link at the bottom. The following is open for ordering:
1. New cadets who have not yet been issued their blue uniforms may request their initial issue
2. Any cadets who have still not been issued their Field Training Uniform (FTU) must submit their request
3. Replacement of any FTU or blue uniform items, including cold weather gear, badges and accessories may be requested by any cadet
Further direction will follow once authorization has been given to continue with the distribution of items.

2. Wrap the tape around the waist at the belt line, inserting it between the trousers and skin (Figures 4B & 4C). The tape should be snug against the skin, but not tight.
3. The correct measurement is the number that lines up with the edge of the tape.

foot (MILLIMETRES)
The FTU boots do not follow common Canadian sizes that you might be used to for civilian shoes. Instead, a system called "mondopoint" is used. Essentially the sizes are based on the length and width of the foot, in millimetres.
If you already have a comfortably fitting parade boot, take this size from the tongue of the boot.
If you don't have a comfortably fitting parade boot, or you would like to confirm the size, use the method outlined belwo:
