My son is in the Army Reserves and ROTC as a freshmen in college. He has a 3-Year ROTC scholarship, but after joining the Reserves has decided to try for West Point. He has a congressional interview and I'm wondering if he should dress as a civilian (dress clothes), or should he wear his ACUs or dress uniform?
ACUs are a utility uniform and should NEVER be worn to an interview. He should wear civilian clothes. They are aware he is in ROTC and there is no reason to assume that an interview is a uniformed event. Wearing a uniform can, in some cases, backfire by appearing as grandstanding or trying to get a leg up. Class As are ugly anyway.
