Once this pointers are thoroughly followed and practiced,
get the help from seniors in your respective schools to conduct a Uniform Inspection.
Please do take note, the next training would be an external one,
thus we would want to spark off a good impression to the other Uniformed Groups present for the training.
And that would include the standard of your uniform.
So, by the next training, we expect your uniform to be in TIP TOP CONDITION!
Drills wise, make sure during your school's trainings, take the time to go through basic marching drills and always remember to improve on your posture.
For now, focus on your studies :)
