What is the required style of coats when worn in NJROTC uniforms?

The required style of coats worn in NJROTC uniforms must be tailored and fitted. A well-fitted coat ensures a professional appearance, which is essential in the military setting. The tailored design reflects discipline and attention to detail, traits that are highly valued in any military program.

Uniformity and a sharp appearance are crucial in NJROTC, as they uphold the standards of the program and convey respect for the uniform. For uniforms to maintain a neat and polished look, particularly in formal or ceremonial settings, the clothing should be designed to fit the wearer appropriately rather than being loose or ill-fitting.

Other styles, such as casual, sport, or unzipped, do not conform to the standards of the NJROTC uniform requirements and would detract from the intended professionalism and discipline represented by the uniform.
