Shirt: Plain white (not off-white & no pinstripes) collared/full-sleeve shirt. No Polos or half-sleeve shirts. Shirts should be ironed. Shirts should be tucked inside the pants. Try JCPenney, Walmart or Target for a good quality, yet inexpensive shirt.

Caps: You should bring a black cap with you. (no baseball caps please).
