Why do SSB officers wear uniform only on the conference day and not earlier?
AThe wash and laundry schedule of the assessor uniforms makes earlier days difficult
BIt is a long-standing tradition with no recorded reason in the SSB documentation
CBecause the conference round is broadcast for select print and television media
DTo avoid intimidating candidates with brass and medals during assessment days
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. To avoid intimidating candidates with brass and medals during assessment days
1. The book explains uniforms would intimidate young candidates, especially from military schools.
2. By conference day, assessment is essentially complete, so impression no longer affects results.
3. So avoiding intimidation is the documented reason.
