The Full Dress

As you visit the Philippine Military Academy, you will observe that everyday we wear different kinds of uniform. Well, it's true. We have many uniforms, and preparing these uniforms is not a joke. It takes time, discipline, and strength just to prepare a set of uniform which I will be discussing on my future blog.

Going back to the topic, maybe one of the nicest uniform of a cadet is the Full dress. Full dress is a formal uniform used by cadets during special occasions, such as hop, parades, and mostly during religious services. 


Full dress might be the nicest uniform in the academy, but it is a difficult uniform to prepare. In preparing this uniform, you must have high RESPECT on it.

The full dress is one of the 3 things that a cadet must consider as sacred. A cadet must wear his full dress with pride and honor. He/she is not allowed to smile while taking pictures, not allowed to stand in one leg, even giving a hug or a kiss to his/her family and friends is not allowed.

High respect shall be rendered to this uniform. It is not 'just' a uniform, because this uniform symbolizes the hardship of a cadet in training. It symbolizes discipline and honor that each cadet possesses. Full dress, for alumni, is a uniform of Courage, Integrity, and Loyalty.
