Hey Larry:  I remember a drummer that was in the navy and showed up to 
inspection with the neck of a tee shirt inside his dress blues, just 
the top and no socks.  That is why the bandmaster used to place the 
band in areas that was the most difficult for the inspecting officers 
to get to.  On a ship, that is not too difficult
