    The New uniforms will look smart once RSM's make soldiers Iron or Glue the collars flat, put snap fastners on the corners of the pockets and apply Irons and starch to the trousers. Then Adorn them with Tribal badges. And Highly polished boots.

    As others have said, I don't know what your studying at university but I'm guessing English isn't it, but you really need to gen up on what you're thinking of applying for
