AHMC,
While I agree with much of what you have written, you have failed to make the case why uniforms are required to acheive any of it. At most integrated FTO's, students attend class the first week in smart civvies before they get their uniforms. I see no reason why that could not continue, though I have mentioned why I think the FTOs require uniforms. I have also seen students look disheviled in their uniforms. A slob is still a slob no matter what they wear!
