Uniform dress code an expectations off the field

This policy applies to wearing the uniform off of the field.  I will be posting it to the official website.

You should be wearing your uniform with pride and you should not be ashamed of wearing it.  Any time that you're going to or from an event, you should be wearing your uniform.  There's no reason why you should be hiding it or be ashamed of it.  If you hate your uniform so much that you feel the need to hide it under a civilian trench coat, you're in the wrong hobby and we don't want you.  I also have to question why you bother with the impression in the first place.

You should not be wearing your uniform in public without cause.  If you want to walk around the house in full impression because you spent a lot of money on it and want to get use out of it, that's fine, but keep it inside unless you have a reason to go out.  Don't walk around in full kit for no reason.  It makes us all look like jackasses.

Using your uniform for any stolen valor benefit is forbidden and you will be booted from the unit if we find out about it.  If an employee gives you a discount just because you were in uniform, you are required to get it reversed and notify the manager so they can retrain the employee.  Don't worry about whether or not they'll be in trouble, they're the one who is giving out stolen valor discounts.  If it gets back to us that you accepted an unearned military discount, we're going to have a conversation and probably boot you.  Tanya and I have both worked in retail.  Don't feel bad even if they have to void and rescan your entire transaction.

If you were in the military and would have qualified for a discount anyway, but weren't asked for ID, you need to notify the manager but you can show them your ID and let them know the discount was valid anyway.

If you weren't in the military, you are not allowed to accept a discount or any other benefit, period.

When you go out in public, your uniform needs to be as presentable as possible, with accommodations made if it got dirty while reenacting.

If we go somewhere before or after an event, you need to be in proper uniform.

Asking the manager to retrain the employee seems like it's going a bit far. I agree though that if you weren't in the military and they give you a discount, you should get it refunded even if they employee tells you it's ok. If you bring it to their attention afterward it's not as bad as passively accepting it though.

If the cashier has already completed the sale, you'll probably need a manager to refund it and redo the transaction, so the employee is already screwed if they applied the discount without asking.
