Roughs
Ensure your civilian attire is seasonally appropriate. Khakis with a collared shirt is considered appropriate.
Jeans are not authorized. Roughs are generally the uniform where soldiers tend to relax more and look less
professional. Keep in mind that you are still “dressing to impress”. Female clothing should fit comfortably
and be appropriate colors/styles for the gender. Female clothing should not be ill fitting. Hiking boots are
authorized, but military issued footwear is not. Wearing roughs is the opportunity to be comfortable and
highly functional. During cold weather months (October-April), bring a civilian cold weather coat that
presents a professional appearance.
