Civilian outerwear is
authorized to and from school only if the Army Windbreaker/Jacket

The windbreaker will be worn zipped up to at least ¾ of the way or
removed from wear. As a personal option (no expense to the Corps of
Cadets or NCUHS) you may purchase a solid black sweatshirt, without hood,
and wear it as a warmer over the Class B Army Green shirt. When worn
you will have the Class B shirt collar on the outside of the neck opening.
The rank chevron will be worn on the collar of the Class B shirt when the
sweatshirt is worn.
An example of an approved sweatshirt is on display at
the classroom. Sweatshirts that are not in keeping with the authorized
example will not be worn. The Army Instructor Team will give notice as to
the dates of wear for each school year and they will generally be from November
1st through the 30th of April. Other non wear dates will be briefed by the
Army Instructor team.
