During the duty day all cadets must be in the uniform of the day in all administrative/academic buildings and classrooms, the Mess Hall, the Mill, on the Upper Parade Ground, and in other areas designated by the Regimental Commander. The authorized cadet duty uniforms include the Class A (tunic) and the summer and winter Class B uniforms (white or grey shirt with grey trousers), or, on Tuesdays, the Battle Dress (camouflage utility) Uniform. The Regimental Commander may authorize the wearing of the Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) on other days due to inclement weather. The Physical Training Uniform is not an authorized duty day uniform and is not to be worn in classrooms.
