Do cadets wear sleeve braid as part of their uniform?

In the context of the NJROTC uniform regulations, cadets do not wear sleeve braid as part of their standard uniform. Sleeve braids are typically reserved for specific uniforms in the naval service, such as those worn by commissioned officers or enlisted personnel in certain ranks and situations. The NJROTC aims to maintain a standard uniform appearance that reflects the discipline and organization of the program, which does not include sleeve braid for cadets. This approach helps differentiate cadets from active-duty members of the military while still providing a respectable and polished look for all participants in the program. Understanding the distinction between different uniform components is essential for cadets as they learn about military customs and courtesies.
