The uniform drill was a form of training session where fourth class cadets would be required to change rapidly through a series of different uniforms in a short amount of time. It was meant not only to allow an inspection of various uniform combinations, including ones that were infrequently worn, but also to stress teamwork, attention to detail and the ability to work under pressure. Sometimes a uniform drill was done immediately prior to a room inspection, forcing the smacks to clean up the uniform items that were now thrown all over the room from the quick changes.
