For women, Service Dress skirts and trousers are equivalent items that may be worn<br />
interchangeably. An individual <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> woman may choose to wear either the skirt<br />
or trousers at her option, except for special occasions where either the trousers are<br />
specifically prescribed.<br />
Women who are participants in official military formations (such as changes of<br />
command, award, or other ceremonies) that may require long periods of standing in place<br />
will wear trousers. Trousers will be worn if a sword is worn.<br />
To facilitate personal safety, women will not normally wear skirts, on military ships,<br />
cutters, boats, or aircraft. However, skirts may be authorized during special occasions,<br />
such as receptions and open houses, when it would not pose a safety concern, violate<br />
rules of decorum, or would not cause embarrassment to the wearer.<br />
