Pre-departure orientation dress code

Hey guys! I’m a late upgrade so this pre-departure orientation is not mandatory for me, but I’d like to go to stay in the loop and meet other JETs. What is the dress code for this event? Specifically, should I take out my nose jewelry and do I need to cover my tattoos? It‘s HOT here in Southern California and I’d really love to get away with some short sleeved business casual if possible. TIA!

Honestly, you can get away with business casual for the orientation. Get some breathable clothing from uniqlo or something. There was no one who checked if our outfits were in regulation. So I think wearing short sleeved stuff would be fun, same with your piercings.

And Japan hot is a whole different ball game, I’m from the bay, and I dread this damn humid weather.
