When can cadets wear tennis or sport-type shoes?

• A. Anytime during training
• B. Only when authorized by an instructor during physical training, defensive tactics, or during Skills Week and Tac Week
• C. Only during non-training days
• D. Never allowed

Answer: (B)

Cadet footwear is controlled for safety and uniformity, with specific, authorized exceptions. Tennis or sport-type shoes may be worn only when an instructor explicitly approves for certain activities. Those activities include physical training, defensive tactics, or during Skills Week and Tac Week, when the training requires more flexible footwear and an instructor can authorize their use. At other times, standard uniform footwear is expected to be worn to maintain safety and appearance standards. This approach balances comfort and practical needs during appropriate activities with the overall discipline and safety of the program.
