Uniform Requirements: Officers are responsible for procuring and maintaining uniforms appropriate to their assigned duties. The Finance School recommends active and reserve personnel possess the items listed below. If you do not have these uniform items, you may purchase them while at Fort Jackson. There will be at least one formal social function while your course is in session. The uniform will be Dress Blues for active duty and Class As for National Guard and Reserve; however, those students who are not on active duty and possess Dress Blues are welcome to wear them to this function. All personnel should possess the Army Combat Uniform (ACU), the Army Physical Fitness Uniform (APFU), and Class As & Bs. As mentioned above, active duty personnel must also have Dress Blues.

Uniform Notes:
- Unit patch may be either the student's gaining units if known; otherwise, it will be the SSI patch.
- The black beret will be worn by students. The only time when officers may wear their patrol cap with subdued or sewn on rank is when they are in the field or at qualification ranges (BRM and Land Navigation).
- Students will wear their rank sewn on their kevlar cover. Additionally, they will also wear their name sewn on their kevlar band and it will be dummy corded to their kevlar. Students will be issued a kevlar cover, though it will not have rank sewn on it.
- The New Army Physical Fitness Uniform (APFU) must be worn at FMBOLC. An orange reflective belt is required as a component of the APFU. It will be provided to each student during their CIF issue and is also available from Clothing & Sales for approximately $5.00. Subdue rank will be worn on the reflective belt, 1" from the buckle on the right hand side.
- Ample opportunity is available to enjoy the local area and have fun. Appropriate civilian/leisure attire will be needed for the course. Additionally, you will want to bring at least one semi-formal outfit (suit for men/dress or pantsuit for women) in the event your class is invited to a community event requiring such attire. Periodically, the Columbia Chamber of Commerce hosts such an event where students are invited to interact with leaders of the Columbia community.
