Shoes should be highly polished in their entirety, not just the toe area. Shoe laces shall be sown inside to outside, leaving the bottom "bridge" to be under the flaps covering the tongue of the shoe.
Uniforms shall be kept clean, neat, and in good repair.
Shirts should be pressed with a properly placed NJROTC patch. No buttons with Irish pennants nor holes in the collar from misplaced insignia are allowed.
Trousers and skirts should be pressed, well-fitting, proper length with no lint or stains visible.
Hats should be clean and well-fitting. Combination covers and chin straps should be tight. Eagles on the hat buttons should be in the upright position. Garrison Caps and Combination Covers are worn outdoors, while holding a rifle, guidon, or flag, or in formation.
NOTE: This is an actual Navy Service Uniform. Not all the items are accurate to NJROTC.
Insignia and devices shall be clean and bright and free from tarnish and corrosion. Metal polish such as Brasso© will remove the plating and should not be used for cleaning purposes.
Brass buckles and belt tips should be shined with quartermaster removed. Polish residue in the slide area should be removed.
Gold buttons that become tarnished can be cleaned with vinegar, followed by a thorough washing in clean water.
The manufacturer’s cleaning instructions should be followed for the cleaning and laundering of all uniforms:
a. Service Dress Blue - Coat, trousers, skirt, tie/neck tab, and slacks are dry cleaned only. White shirt is laundered.
b. Service Khaki – Shirt, trousers, and slacks may be laundered or dry cleaned. If laundered, they must be pressed.
c. Working Khaki - Shirt, trousers, and slacks are laundered and ironed.
d. ACC cover is laundered; garrison caps are dry cleaned only.
e. Black relaxed fit jacket and raincoat are dry cleaned only.
f. Care must be exercised when using bleach in the laundering of white articles. Chlorine bleach on white polyester fabric turns it yellow.
