2. Enrolment badge must have circumference touching the left collar edge, with the arrow pointing in the same direction as the collar.

Sleeves

1. Iron a dead line behind the red flash to make the sleeve 'stand'.

 Shoulder flaps (the one you put your rank)

1. Iron a dead line approx. 1-2cm from the shoulder line on both sides to make it stand so when you put in your rank, it will look nice!

Flaps

1. Iron the flaps nicely according to your body shape.
2. The two flaps behind are to be folded out.
3. The two flaps are NOT to be sew on. 

Belt

1. The belt should be detached from your uniform. 
2. Make sure that your belt is tight enough (not too tight) that it won't move then you march. 

Shorts

1. Avoid wearing coloured pants. 
2. Wear a light-coloured/white short (eg. white fbt) inside so that you will not reveal yourself.
3. Make sure that your short is shorter than your uniform.

Name Tag

1. Name tag should in between the 1st and 2nd button.
2. Name tag should be your own.
3. Name tag should be centralised with the 'line' at the sides of your uniform.

Badges

1. Badges should ideally be in chronological order, from left to right.
2. The first row of badges should be aline with your name tag.
3. A maximum of 2 rows is allowed.
4. The total defense badge should be on the "third row", regardless of whether you have one or two rows of badges.
5. Mounting of badges on a white label tag for easy pinning is permitted.
6. Badges should not overlap one another, and the circumference of each badge should touch.
7. Badges should be pinned in the right orientation.

Socks

1. Only clean, white socks allowed.
2. Ideally, no brand names should be shown / obvious.
3. No ankle socks are allowed.
4. Thickness- 2 fingers spacing.

Boots
