All uniforms and articles of clothing issued to enlisted men, whether or not charged on their clothing allowance, remain the property of the United States and do not become the property of the soldier either before or after discharge from the service. Under the law a soldier honorably discharged from the Army of the United States is authorized to wear his uniform from the place of his discharge to his home within three months after the date of such discharge. To wear the uniform after three months from the date of such discharge renders such person liable to fine or imprisonment, or both. The =dress uniform= dismounted (the blue uniform) consists of the dress cap, dress coat, dress trousers, and russet-leather shoes. The straight, standing, military, white linen collar, showing no opening in front, is always worn with this uniform, with not to exceed one-half inch showing above the collar of the coat. Turndown, piccadilly, or roll collars are not authorized. When under arms, white gloves and the garrison belt are worn. The dress uniform mounted is the same as dismounted, except that riding gloves, leggings, and spurs are worn, and the saddle cloth, showing regimental number and troop letter, is placed over the saddle blanket. The =full-dress uniform= is the same as the dress uniform, with the breast cord added. The =service uniform= is either cotton (summer) or woolen (winter) olive drab. For duty in the field it consists of the service hat, with cord sewed on, service coat or sweater, service breeches, olive-drab flannel shirt, leggings, russet-leather shoes, spurs, riding gloves, and identification tag. In cold weather olive-drab woolen gloves may be prescribed. In warm weather the coat, sweater, and riding gloves may be omitted when authorized by the commanding officer. When not in the field, the service cap is worn instead of the campaign hat. Under arms, dismounted, white gloves and the garrison belt (or russet-leather belt and cartridge box) are worn. Spurs and riding gloves are worn on all mounted duty or when on mounted pass. Wear the exact uniform prescribed by your commanding officer, whether you are on duty or off duty. Never wear a mixed uniform as, for instance, a part of the service uniform with the blue uniform. Never wear any part of the uniform with civilian clothes. It is very unsoldierly, for example, to wear a civilian overcoat over the uniform or to wear the uniform overcoat over a civilian suit. Keep the uniform clean and neat and in good repair. Grease spots and dust and dirt should be removed as soon as possible. Rips and tears should be promptly mended. In taking the field always wear new clothing as it may be some time before you are again supplied, and old clothing on field service goes to pieces rapidly. Missing buttons and cap and collar ornaments should be promptly replaced. There is but one correct and soldierly way to wear the cap. Never wear it on the back or side of the head.
