Don't bother buying any uniforms. Company will provide them and it's highly doubtful you will ever wear them. I've worn mine once and that was when I was going to a police station.......

I was thinking the same. From what I've heard unless you work with passengers uniforms are rarely worn. Was thinking couple of pairs of combat trousers would be handy thing to have light weight, comfortable, hard wearing and quick drying.

Would anyone recommend any clothing to buy from army/navy surplus suppliers for the sea-phase? I was thinking as there is some cross-over with our profession and thiers (working in extremes of conditions, i.e. hot or cold or wet). I know our companies supply us with some uniform and I know there is some information on the cadet wiki but I was hoping for more specific advice.
