The full dress starts with which item?

• A. Cap
• B. Number 3 pennant
• C. Jacket
• D. Trousers

Answer: (B)

In a formal dress sequence, the ceremonial display begins with the flag/pennant arrangement, not with the clothing items. The Number 3 pennant is the first element placed or hoisted because it establishes the ceremonial status and signals the start of the full dress presentation. Once the pennant is in place, the rest of the uniform—cap, jacket, and trousers—are added as the ceremony progresses. The cap, jacket, and trousers are important parts of the uniform, but they come after the pennant in this ceremonial ordering.
