Cadet Supplies

Riverside Military Academy cadets will be allowed to wear only those uniforms and other clothing items that have received approval from the Commandant. Each cadet is expected to develop a sense of pride in his appearance. Accordingly, Riverside cadets are required to be well-groomed and dressed in proper attire at all times. Cadets will wear the designated uniform when departing or returning to the RMA campus.

Cadet Uniforms and Items Supplied by RMA

View the Cadet Uniforms & Other Items list to see items supplied to cadets by RMA. All returning cadets have received a one-time issue of all items on the list and must replace any of these items that become missing or unserviceable during their attendance at Riverside. Items in need of replacement will be charged to the cadet's account through the Cadet Store.

The RMA Corps of Cadets utilizes a variety of uniforms. At times, one uniform option may be substituted for another which may be more suitable for that occasion. The battalion commander for the Corps, in consultation with the Commandant's Office, announces the uniform of the day.
