I would humbly suggest that you consult the chain of command, the large angry fellow who is your sectiuon commander. He ( or she ) is likely to inform you that you are authorized to wear your uniform while on duty, and while travelling to and from your place of duty. I further suspect that should you ask him ( or her) if you can wear you kit to show off to your mates, that he ( or she) will treat you to a swift kick in the arse......
If this matter still confuses you, feel free to talk directly to you Company Sergeant Major........I am sure that compassionate and caring soul will assist you......
Cheers
