Wear Uniform to Interview?

ROTC students are NOT officers. You are an enlisted individual in the inactive ready reserves. You cannot commission without a college degree. Honestly, how do cadets here not know that?

I'm a pilot in the Air Force currently, and was considering wearing my dress blues to med school interviews. Came here to see if that would be appropriate. However, cadets most certainly should not wear their uniforms. You haven't actually *done* anything yet. To wear it would seen really disingenuous, like you're trying to take credit for other people's sacrifices.

Should I wear my military uniform to an interview? Even though I've read such positive things about military medicine, this isn't the topic. I plan on commissioning into the AF whenever I graduate anyway because I am in ROTC, so should I wear my uniform or not?

Is this a thing? (Suitable alternative to a suit). Interview attire is business professional. However, if it's an accepted practice go on ahead. In my mind though, it seems gimmicky.

Maybe he's really indecisive. His status is still pre-health something. Maybe this decision paralyzed him with fear and he's been sitting at his computer ever since just waiting for an answer, longing for closure...

I wore my dress blues to the interviews. I certainly wouldn't have worn my everyday fatigues, but a dress uniform qualifies as business professional It was well received. Different from the OP though, was I had actually served almost 5 years when I interviewed instead of just doing ROTC.

I didn't make an account specifically for that reply, obviously. I just haven't had a reason to comment yet. People still read old threads, via google, so that reply is still relevant.
