UNIFORM INSPECTION

Here are a couple of quick comments on today's weekly uniform inspection:
  1. Military bearing is important.  You will be at the position of "at ease" until the inspector approaches.  You should then go to "attention."  Answer questions with "Sir" or "Ma-am."  Don't roll your eyes or move.  If a discrepancies is pointed out, don't break your bearing to look. 
  2. Too many cadets need hair cuts.  Some girls need to pay a bit more attention to arranging their hair for the inspection.
  3. Shoes need attention.
  4. Some males are putting their belts on backwards.
  5. Rig you uniform the night before--do it at home in good lighting and get it right.  Check the placement of your J-bar, ribbons, and name tag.
  6. Read the guidance on exactly how to rig your uniform--it's in you Cadet Reference Manual.  You can also find all the info you need on our unit website.
  7. Learn your general knowledge.
  8. Listen to the word that is put out.
  9. The WOD for 18/19 November is alleviate, a verb meaning to relieve.  This should alleviate the problem; if it does not, we will try something else.
