Uniforms will meet standards in CAPM 39-1. Incorrect items that can be fixed, such as patches, will be fixed by the cadet at the encampment. Hair and appearance will meet the standards in the CAPM 39-1. Incorrect areas such as hair may be corrected through a haircut at the cadet's expense at the encampment. If an applicant refuses to fix items such as patches or haircut once at the encampment, the Encampment Commander may send them home without credit.
