Will I have to get a haircut?

Your hair will have to conform to NSCC and Navy regulations. These are quite reasonable. For Recruit Training, males will receive a "boot camp" haircut (a close "buzzcut") and females will need to be able to keep their hair off their collar in an approved manner.

If you have certain piercings, you will need to remove them for drills and training. Males are not allowed any earrings; females are allowed one small silver stud in each ear.

You will need to wear a uniform to drills. These are Navy uniforms, modified with the NSCC or NLCC insignia. Cadets' seabags (set of uniforms) contain several sets of working uniforms (the "dungaree" style), dress white and blue uniforms, appropriate covers (hats) and other articles as required. You will get more information and be fitted for uniforms when you join the Division.
