AREA MANAGER'S INSPECTION, NOTE #2

Just a reminder:  the annual inspection is right around the corner.  As you should know by now, the inspection will be 9 February and participation is MANDATORY.  Between now and then:
Inventory your uniform.  Make sure you have everything. 
  • Read you handbook and make sure you know how to properly wear your uniform.  Don't guess, and don't ask someone who doesn't have any more of a clue than you.
  • Take some time and shine your shoes.  Put some effort into looking good.
  • Think about taking your uniform to the cleaners and getting it pressed professionally.  If you do it yourself, cold water wash your shirt and trousers, then hang them up to drip dry--don't put them in the dryer.  If you iron them, use the low setting to avoid melting the plastic in the fabric. 
More on this in the next inspection note.  The WOD for 21 through 24 January is reticence.  Reticence is a noun meaning reserve or an inclination to silence.  Example:  Fearful of being identified as a dope, Fedorka preferred reticence to loquacity.
