Maybe standards drop when GMS was in OCS? Or, he is just too lazy to look good.
I do not know GMS.
To this day, I continue to iron all my shirts.
Although I find ironing pants cumbersome, I have no choice but to do it.
In fact, I also iron my sons' shirts, so their mother does not have to do it.
During your old days, were the SPF uniform made of 50/50 polyester and cotton?
which makes ironing easier, and the shirts look "sharper",
like the SAF ceremonial uniforms.
