What is the policy regarding wearing uniforms outside of the Academy?

The policy regarding wearing uniforms outside of the Academy emphasizes the importance of maintaining propriety and respect for the institution. Wearing the uniform is a privilege that comes with responsibilities, including the image cadets project to the public. This is why prior approval is necessary before wearing the uniform outside of designated training or official functions. The requirement for approval helps ensure that the uniform is worn in a manner that upholds the standards and values of the Academy at all times, preventing any potential negative representations that could arise from inappropriate contexts or settings. This careful approach reinforces discipline and respect for the uniform as a symbol of the Academy's values.
