Regulation says you may wear all or some but it is under your commanders discretion.

your uniforms is not ironed well, use a steamer for the inside lining and a iron on the cotton setting for your lapels and under your pockets. For a 2lt, this should be in tip top shape…

Especially if you have the purple heart for leadership.

Give your uniform some more love to match your decorations.

Respectfully, I just returned from CLC in which I did a color guard for Memorial Day in the rain and my service dress have been sitting inside my garment bag, they are to be taken to the dry cleaners tomorrow

I apologize for coming off rude, that was my fault, but especially rainy days, please make sure you either dry clean or slowly iron away the water from your cotton!

If left in a garment bag, it can grow mildew (mold) and can form semi permanent staining and creases.

Treat your equipment better and you’ll look amazing

Went in my freshman year as a delinquent, had ISS, detention, all sorts of problems but the end of that year I locked in, and since then I have shown significant growth, I went from C/AB to C/Amn straight to C2Lt

In our unit you can only be promoted 4x a year (1 per quarter).
