The uniform worn is the uniform of the day with SP brassard, web belt, nightstick, and whistle.  Do not swing, twirl, or play with the nightstick.  Keep it attached to your belt, ready for quick release.  Sidearms are worn only under special circumstances. Members of the shore patrol are expected to maintain the highest standards of personal appearance and military bearing.  You must always be in a correct, clean, and neat uniform; have your hair neatly trimmed; be freshly shaven; and have shoe shined and hat squared.  Servicemen are quick to notice and criticize faults in the uniform and behavior of the shore patrol.
